Shannen Tan hails from the sunny island city-state of Singapore. She is a soon-to-be graduate and will be armed with a Bachelors in Psychology and Theatre Studies from the National University of Singapore. Art, she firmly believes, is not limited to the elites, and is created by and for anyone experiencing the human condition. Theatre is her beloved and blessedness. She has acted in local theatre festivals such as M1 Fringe Festival, 20-something Theatre Festival and NUS Arts Festival. That aside, she opens too many tabs on her browser, plays video games, enjoys breakfast at kopitiams, and is overly obsessive with Earl Grey.

Directed by NUS Theatre Studies alumnus and Saga Seed Theatre's Associate Director Thong Pei Qin, the production examines human's inclinations for petty grievances via intertwined narratives, which centres on a very unusual premise: a dead dog's tail continues to incessantly wag.
