Questions answered by Cathy Lam Arts Collective.

Q1: If you could take just one record with you to survive the Fringe — your ultimate comfort, hype, or grounding track — what would it be, and why?

Pablo Honey by Radiohead. Beautifully messy — raw, restless, like holding yourself together in a city full of flyers and feelings. I like my music like my theatre: a little vulnerable, a little intense, and hard to forget.

Q2: What’s your trick for leaving your audience begging for more — or begging you to stop?

Whisper a memory, light a match, and let the quiet burn. In AH-MA, it’s not the loudest moments that stay — it’s the ones that feel like someone remembering your name just before they forget it again.

Q3: What moment in your show would your grandma absolutely hate (or absolutely love)?

She might roll her eyes at the messy, confusing bits — but I bet she’d totally love the moments where love sneaks in, all tender and a little bit cheeky, reminding us that even in memory’s chaos, the heart still flirts with life.

Q4: How will the audience remember you the morning after?

I hope they remember the warmth in the fading light—the tender sparks of memory and love that flicker long after the fire’s gone, leaving them wanting more, even as things slip away.
