smelt jasmine (?) something floral and almost reverent

heard quite chaotic noises at some point

many many visually interesting scenes - loved the scene with the ice and jewellery and guitar(?) sounds

incredible, engaging, thoughtful, reflective

the alternate viewing with the live performer made it all the more directly immersive

the steps to marriage scene was quite relatable (not the narrative but just the steps being laid out like a game and wanting to just quit)

i saw 2 people’s start of struggles, their journey and their progress, how they carved and found their place in the world where they could unabashedly be who they really are

I really like the smells, the jasmine scent was extra strong during aadi’s exploration of jewellery :00

really thought provoking and brings me inside the story and I really enjoyed it 🥰

so many scenes resonated w me more than I expected omgg

like the scene of aadi and mom, the story about changing voice (imma be real I did this too w YouTube tutorials), steps to a marriage (I’m stuck at step 1, probably cos I don’t like squares also 😔)

The entire scene with Aadi's mother felt so viscerally familiar.

"You can tell me anything"

And then she talks about changing bodies as something strange ..

Aadi can't tell her.

I wish I could.

This project made me cry. Made me feel less alone. Thank you.

The soundtrack was so good. I wish the speakers were loud enough to burn it into my eardrums.

On becoming is about exploring gender identity in a rigid world, through a singaporean lens.

It is honest and incredibly personal.

The show was nice , but seems like too short. Good job

I was thinking about how holistic our experiences in this world are. How there are so many sounds but only a few we pay attention to. How there is no way to see everything because there are too many things to see (i have only my perspective & a pair of eyes, which i am lucky enough to have to begin with). I appreciated how this production captured this sense of holism, and in such a careful, creative and meaningful way ❤️

I was wondering if a multisensory room would be a lil overstimulating but it was a lot calmer than i thought it would be. I loved the textures of everything, from the materials used on screen, decor hanging in the middle, to the textures of the curtains. I loved the various textures in all the voices and sounds and how they all came together to tell a textured story. Not smooth or polished, but in the most intentional way.

So proud of you now arts <3

for some reason the one with aadi? ive always felt weird about my voice and how it relates to my gender. its always been too deep for me to feel fully female, but it also was too light and cutesy to be masculine ish. i loved the representation of this tension, and the representations of voice. the dual voicing also made it so effective. love this one
