Abstract
"Excavated from over 40 hours of oral history interviews from the National Archives juxtaposed with seminal texts and plays of Kuo, Goh Lay Kuan & Kuo Pao Kun presents an intimate portrait of this pioneering arts couple of Singapore. Internationally acclaimed theatre director Ong Keng Sen, known for his distinct aesthetic in making documentary performance through collaboration with his performers and extensive research, helms the full creation of this distilled work. This follows the 'sold-out' work-in-progress in April 2010 as part of the TheatreWorks' 25th anniversary season.If Singapore is a city of amnesia and forgetting, Goh Lay Kuan & Kuo Pao Kun asks an urgent question: how do we document the work and lives of Singapore artists whose practice evades archiving and preservation?"--Container.
