Love You Forever

"Love you Forever" is one of a stories in Festival of Small Theater : Emotive (Teater Kecil Fasa III : EMOTIF) produced by the Theater Faculty at my university, ASWARA.

"Love You Forever" is on stage! Theater director, Dr. Wong Oi Min, is inspired by the story of the graphic novel "Love You Forever" by Robert Munsch in 1986 and make it a physical theatre piece upon her interpretation on life. It tells the story of the evolving relationship between mother and son, which is very simple and yet significant in our life.

The story begins with a baby in his mother stomach and till he is born. The story then continues through the life of the boy until he is a grown man. The mother continues to rock her son to sleep singing

I'll love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living my baby you'll be.

Later, the role is reversed and he holds his elderly mother and says "I'll love you forever I'll like you for always as long as I'm living my Mommy you'll be." At the very end of the story, he is the father of a little girl, rocking her to sleep singing the same song that his mother used to sing to him.

This physical theater shows us the journey of human and relationship between mother and son... This theater makes me remind a lot of memories and it was so touching when his mother sang him "Love You Forever" everyday... I think this theater is the greatest theater ever I watch...
