Singapore mandarin play 'Catfished' on love scams, technology's role in modern relationships
SINGAPORE — Are we truly who we are online? Be it loneliness, the search for love or a fear of missing out, we have all found ourselves on dating apps and social media.
The women are drawn into the alluring world of social media, each attempting to find themselves while getting caught in the web between virtual and reality.We follow the stories of Bee Ling, a career-minded woman who attempts to find love again after being recently scammed on Tinder; Audrey, a married woman who struggles to connect with her husband and spends too much time on Facebook; and Celia, who catfishes dates online after recently ending a longstanding love affair.
We witness the progressive breakdown of Audrey's relationship, actively keeping up with an online persona and searching for validation through social media, as a distraction from her loveless marriage. We empathise with Bee Ling's plight of changing herself and comprising her likes and dislikes for the sake of a speed dating love interest - from her dressing to her food preferences.
The use of multimedia such as the large digital screen as a backdrop was effective in delivering the juxtaposition between communication via text and in-person. Minute details such as the use of a flickering stage light to represent the unresolved relationship between Audrey and her husband was a nice touch.
