概要

  International and intercultural collaborations often attempt to explore how cultural differences can be either instrumentalised for mutual learning or transcended to promote humanist and utopian agendas on 'cross-cultural understanding'. But how do we manage collaborations where the 'common ground' is elusive, and where there are seemingly irreconcilable and even mutually-canceling narratives? A prominent example of this would be the way the Second World War is remembered in Japan, in contrast to the countries that were once under the rule of the Empire of Japan. Using the case study of the play 'Tiger of Malaya', Singaporean playwright Alfian Sa'at, together with actors Yuya Tanaka and Rei Kitagawa, and  dramaturg Shawn Chua will present on some of their research and challenges in creating a work that acknowledges multiple 'truths' and dissonant histories.
