Shi,
Yi (Playwright, A VIEW FROM THE BACK) is a
blank canvas. From afar, he looks just like any other Chinese fabric. Yet, a gentle
flick on the canvas gives way to the nuanced layers of undertones achievable
only under the humidity of Singapore and the sunlight of California. He has
been certified by the University of California, Berkeley for passing the tests
of Physics and the impact reviews on the Society and Environment. He is
currently pursuing the recognition for his master level of Environmental
Management quality at Yale University. The canvas could have been covered with
violin scores, lyrics, Shakespearean verses, or essays. Instead, it has been
kept blank for its day of destiny. That day is coming, as it has been invited
for display at the marvelous Strawberry One-Act Festival in New York City. Magnifying
glasses and mere touches will not suffice to experience the sea of subtlety on
this canvas. What you have to do, is to shrink yourself down to the scale of
millimeters, heighten your senses, and feel each story that has been carved
into the warp and weft of the fabric.
