The Kuala Lumpur Performing Art Centre Presents

Play Time
Director: Loh Kok Man

“Play Time”, a new play by renowned local performing artist Loh Kok Man, will be staged in the newly constructed KLPac (The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre) from 11th to 14th August 2005. Presented by KLPac, “Play Time” is the debut performance of “Pentas Project”.

Established by Loh Kok Man in 2005, “Pentas Project” hopes to build a mature, contemporary and multi-facet stage. It is a theatre stage that enthusiasts interactions and openness. “Pentas Project” hopes to respect and appreciate differences between diverse cultures and art fields, through collaboration, interaction, sharing and learning, hence open up new horizons and collaborative spaces in theatre arts.

“Play Time” unites some of the most talented artists in performing arts. Among them are excellent performers like Gan Hui Yee, Ling Tang and Sui Shiang Chi, stage and set design by the emerging and most anticipated Chan Kok Hooi, image design by Charlie Jong and music design by the artistic director of Hands Percussion, Bernard Goh.

Inspired by “Les Chaises”, a script written by the master of Absurd Theatre, Eugene Ionesco, Kok Man extends his interest in exploring the issue of language and theatre language in “Play Time”. Through games, Kok Man hopes to reveal questions such as identity, time, ambiguities between facts and illusion and the absurdity of our society. While audiences will be enjoying a feast of visual and sound, “Play Time” would hopefully also be a thought provoking piece.
