About the DIRECTOR


Fresh from the success of Ang Tau Mui

"The challenge has been to keep ourselves from being drowned  by the density of the text and bring out the very powerfully  potent theme of castration. To that end, I have chosen to  create a sense of instability by playing the text as a collage of  abruptly shifting fragments. I use this performance structure  as  a supportive framework to emphasize the sense of  schizophrenia  and disembodiment running throughout the text.  The technical  and physical demands on the performers are  great and I only  hope they come out of this exercise in one  piece."

Chee Sek Thim began his involvement in theatre with Marion D'Cruz and Dancers eight years ago.

Since then he has performed in numerous theatre events under the direction of Marion D'Cruz, Krishen Jit, Joe Hasham, Leow Puay Tin and Anne James.

Sek Thim made his directorial debut earlier this year under the Directors' Workshop with Ang Tau Mui.
