In this talk, Tokyo-based dramaturg and translator Ken Takiguchi — a friend to many in Malaysian arts and culture — returns to Kuala Lumpur to share about his experience and practice of dramaturgy. 

Drawing from his role as dramaturg for Leow Puay Tin's newest play, 'Mortal Man: Two Monologues', Ken will speak about his year-long conversations with Puay Tin through different iterations of the performance text, as well as the role that chance and tikam-tikam plays in the project.  He will also reflect on the process of collaboration with a playwright who is also performing in the work.
