"It’s been 20 years — and I am now older than he was when he told me those stories.&nbsp; His stories have moved and troubled me all this time.” A woman writer remembers and recreates a conversation which took place 20 years ago — on the formative years of a famous theatre director.&nbsp; Mortal Man: Two Monologues&nbsp;is the latest play by Leow Puay Tin, one of Southeast Asia’s most original and acclaimed playwrights.&nbsp; Mortal Man: Two Monologues employs Puay Tin's delightfully innovative 'tikam-tikam' method of combining performance with chance and randomness — to tell the overlapping story of two different artists in Malaysia.&nbsp; The play sketches their childhoods, influences, education, and socio-cultural environment, and considers how these elements shape their artistic practice within the broader landscape.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ----- Creative &amp; Production Team Playwright: Leow Puay Tin Performers: Faiq Syazwan Kuhiri &amp; Leow Puay Tin Dramaturg: Ken Takiguchi Lighting &amp; Multimedia Designer: Syamsul Azhar Producers: June Tan &amp; Mark Teh Production Stage Manager: Veeky Tan&nbsp;&nbsp; Poster: Low Pey Sien ----- Dates &amp; Times 12-14 December 2024, 8.30pm 15 December 2024, 3.00pm Venue Five Arts Centre, 9th Floor, GMBB KL Ticket Prices RM50 RM30 (students / seniors / disabled) ----- This talk is presented by Five Arts Centre in partnership with The Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur.
