Keeping up with the tradition over the recent years, the ICSS will be proudly presenting a musical as this year's Major Event, entitled '(in)sanity'. With 100% original script, dances and musical arrangements. and over 70 members giving their all to the Production Team this year, Major Event promises to be of the finest quality that is not to be missed!
Synopsis
This year, the story is set in an asylum about a man who is plagued with a bizarre medical condition caused by an accident. This condition renders the man incapable of retaining any form of memory over a reasonable period of time. In his desperation to gain enlightenment on his background, the man engages in interactions with 5 of his fellow patients.
In his state of loss, the man gets sucked into the different realms of the 5 individuals. With each passing day, the man perseveres in his search of the coveted notebook which was presented to him by the doctor to aid him in recalling the truth. To him, the notebook was the only glimmer of hope in his seemingly endless pursuit of answers.
The 5 worlds intertwine in what is a complex web of different perspectives with which the characters view the world. The story will be played out in 5 Acts, each interjected with dances and music, with every performance shedding light to the conclusion. The heaviness of the theme will be finely balanced off with comical relief, making the play a light-hearted one which will be suitable for all ages and nationalities. The content will be topped off with a tinge of Singaporean flavour, with compelling portrayals of snippets to life in Singapore, played out through the characters on stage.
In the end, will the man find his true identity? Will he succeed in restoring his memory and sanity? Or will he be lost forever in one of these make-believe worlds? In this intriguing adventure, how will the man eventually cope with the cross between imagination and reality? The story unfolds on the 19th of February 2011…

3) In Pursuit, by KCLMSS
From the people who brought you Merdeka: The Rock Musical, Beauty World and Love Song For No One, this year, King’s College London Malaysian and Singaporean Society proudly presents In Pursuit, a story about love, life and detergent!
Synopsis:
...In Pursuit follows the journey of Siew Yee, an ordinary girl with her own dreams and aspirations. When her fiancé breaks off an arranged engagement, Siew Yee finds herself torn between the opportunity of living her life for herself, and remaining under the rule of her grandparents. Convinced that a woman’s fulfilment is gained by being a good wife and mother, Siew Yee’s grandparents are adamant that the wedding should go on. Burdened by expectations, both her own and her grandparents’, she begins to realise the possibility of surpassing limits that she set for herself. A story of the tension between change and familiarity, blurred by love in its infinite forms, In Pursuit seeks not to reconcile both but to challenge the audience to locate the tension within their own lives.
