Abstract

This article provides a general framework to the interview with Singaporean theatre creator and foremost advocate of Asian interculturalism, Ong Keng Sen, conducted on 30th of April, 2021. Aiming to focus on one of his latest works: Lear Dreaming, which premiered in Singapore, 2011 and was presented during the Singapore Theatre Festival in Paris, 2015, the interview covers a wide range of perspectives regarding Ong’s collaborative practice and the different strategies his work engages with, not only from a production point of view but also as part of a constant exploration regarding the continuities of contemporary practice of Asian theatre traditions. Harnessing the results from the unavoidable disruptions within the different traditions, his work enables an artistic practice that is acutely mindful of cultural mobility by exploring every possibility of innovation without losing sight of its relevant traditional background.
