Deciphering eros and enigma : between the plays and pictures of Lee Joo For

Lee Joo For was one of the 1960s most prolific playwrights writing over 30 plays (and more under pseudonyms!) with such eclectic titles as The Campus is Not a Baby Land, Nero Has Arisen in Malaysia, When the Sun Sets in the Shade of the Jambu Tree. Today he is best known as a boundary-pushing visual artist but in the 60s he was part of the theatre movement, writing plays, designing brochures, creating sets alongside Syed Ahmad Jamal. 

A talk by curator Adele Tan and readings from some of his most fascinating plays directed by Jo Kukathas. Actors include Jerrica Lai, Arief Hamizan, Putrina Rafie, Firdaus Sufiyan, Thor Kah Hoong, Craig Hayden and Jun Vinh Teoh.
