SYNOPSIS:

This ambitious triple bill will see the premiere of Uncut, Untitled and Paper House, three new plays written and directed by up-and-coming talents Teng Ky-Gan, Johann Lim and Mark Beau de Silva, respectively. While Uncut explores the theme of censorship in Malaysia and arts policing, Untitled humanises the cost of chasing one's dreams as an artist. Family, culture, history and the self all come to head in Paper House, the final play in the bill.



UNCUT

Written & directed by Teng Ky-Gan

Featuring Fish & Aishah Sinclair

This play explores the theme of censorship in Malaysia and the influence of fanatical moral policing over works of art. As he struggles to reconcile his professional and moral obligations, with his basic human instincts, Zakaria the director of the Censorship Bureau finds himself spiraling out of control as he slowly learns that human wants often triumph over didactic logic.



UNTITLED

Written & directed by Johann Lim

Featuring Fang Chyi, Alfred Loh & Amelia Chen

Ken has found his passion in dance but struggles to make ends meet and has problems being understood at home. This play explores the costs of chasing one's dreams, the conflict between living at home and filial piety, and the values of people.



PAPER HOUSE

Written & directed by Mark Beau de Silva

Featuring Maybel Chan & Bella Rahim

Two sisters, Kim and Yen inherit their mother’s Chinese paraphernalia shop. Yen maintains the way her mother used to while Kim returns once a year for her mother’s death anniversary prayers. One night, after the final prayers, as Kim prepares to leave for the city, they encounter a lost girl outside the shop. Too late to bring her to the police and unsure of her background, the sisters decide to shelter the girl for the night. As they decide on what to feed the girl and what to do with her the next morning, the sisters realise that they are lost in many ways themselves, and discover that the answers to the questions in their hearts are found in the paper house left for them by their mother.
