RAW Moves presents Ghost Call GHOST CALL DIGITAL | Page 2

MESSAGE FROM ARTISTIC DIRECTOR To start this season’s new theme - SYSTEM (2019/20), RAW Moves is proud to present Nabilah Said, a celebrated Singaporean playwright. Establishing the initial investigation into human connection and fragility of one-sided communications, Ghost Call gradually morphs into multi-layers of real and simulated worlds of fabricated relationships in modern life. Today, as we stride towards becoming a smart nation that embraces technological innovations, could we also question ourselves truthfully about this new phase of building ‘relationships’ through social media platforms? Or could we also assess the values of connectedness and/or disconnectedness through different modes of communication? Nonetheless, what happens should a ‘ghosting’ surface in our everyday conversations? Will such a shift in discourse produce unsettlement in oneself? Or have we acquired the skill to monitor our socialising system in response to people and situations? In short, Ghost Call is more than just the ‘invisible’… Or, could it just be another social evolution in human relationship? Ricky Sim Artistic Director RAW Moves
