*Women On Canvas - A
Musical
Book, Lyrics & Directed by Janathan Lim
Music composed & arranged by Bang Wenfu
Inspired by paintings by H R Giger, Hunt, Manet, Rene Margritte, Balthus,
Edward Hopper & Andy Warhol.
Five women visit a gallery, looking at faces of women. Searching for

daubs of imagined light. Singing songs of innocence and yes, experience.
And the space between the two which some call Woman.
