Hard Mode ‘24
It’s been many months and this show lives on in my soul
@faithngsm wrote the words that encapsulated the feelings so many had felt in our teenage years. It’s so hard to find some semblance of footing in those fragile years, almost walking on eggshells and feeling like one wrong step could cause our whole world to collapse within itself. I really wish teenage Kyra could have seen this, and to have felt seen
I found fragmented pieces of myself in Maya, and this show had allowed me to pick up those pieces and glue them together with pretty washi tape
Faith had written with utmost sensitivity; for the current generation and for generations that follow 🤍 saranghaeyo!!
Huge huge thank you to Claire and Huzir who brought the words to life, always encouraging us to look within our characters’ lives— to fully breathe and live their inner worlds 🥹 thank you for giving me the opportunity live in this world we created and thank you to the @checkpointtheatre team for always extending love and support 🧡
@thesparklyman , you are so dearly missed. There was always a halo of warmth and a twinkle in your eye when you stepped foot into the room. I hope we did you proud, and I choose to believe that Sisyphus was happy☀️ Sengkang squad ♾️

Maya’s surrounded by people who love her wholeheartedly and want her to succeed.
And that’s good, you know? Most people don’t have a support system like she does and would have to go through life making a lot of hard decisions. She can just trust that everyone is making the best choice for her.
But as she grows older and these decisions become bigger, she has to make a choice for herself. Will Maya be able to take a step into the unknown for the first time?
HARD MODE runs from 18—26 October, get your tickets at the link in the bio now! ➡️
