Background or significance of the project Reality and Illusion are connectedly intertwined in theatre world. Tragedy and comedy are two main dramatic genres in the world of theatre. Written words in either tragedy and comedy often play a major role in conveying messages and themes from the scripts. In order to understand words written in the script, one must interpret the context and analyse script. In order to compose a script, one must command a word. However, one word can mean more than one or two things. This creative research aims to experiment with words and how the audiences perceive through their own experiences and translate its meaning towards themselves.

Knowledge after finished produce art or design works After the designed works, the creators would learn how the composition of visual artwork can affect the audiences in terms of meaning, analysis and interpretation and how to work with short words in order to reframe the script into the visual art works and develop into a performance art or an installing outdoor art that are more expansive and accessible.
