Cheong Chua, Director | Omar Ali, Actor

Poly

Poly is an absurdist play intertwining three tales: a criminal under scrutiny, a cult’s obsessive search for a saviour, and a couple unravelling in the face of betrayal. Written by Ian Skatu, this surreal exploration of communication and human connection blends mystery, humour, and chaos, to challenge the audience’s perception of reality in a world teetering on the edge of absurdity. We speak to director Cheong Chua and actor Omar Ali, to find out more.
