Bee Kayem: age 19 ‘I am’

Programmes notes

Seventh and last piece of the cycle entitled No Face (as well as nineteenth and last piece of the entire cycle Berlayar), Bee Kayem: age 19 ‘I am’ is based on Baudelaire’s poem L’heautontimoroumenos. Characters take their masks down. This liberation leaves open the possibility for vulnerability, manipulation and creativity.
