有時候不誠實，是因為在意。至於在意什麼，鬼知道.........
Sometimes, we choose dishonesty because we care.
What it is we care about… only the ghosts know.
繼叫好叫座的黑色幽默劇《蜂》（2024）以及諷刺寓言劇《動物農莊》(2025)，由平台計劃與W Productions三度聯合重磅制作，駐馬來西亞臺灣經濟與文化辦事處為合作單位，葉偉良製作、羅國文執導、臺灣劇作家簡莉穎代表作品《遙遠的東方有一群鬼》，將於2026年11月12日至15日假吉隆坡演藝中心 klpac 的 Pentas 2 上演易卜生《群鬼》附身在當代亞洲東方家庭的暗黑寓言- 《遙遠的東方有一群鬼》。
經典轉世：從19世紀歐洲家庭，窺見當代亞洲人性
羅國文獨特的劇場美學，將與簡莉穎冷靜犀利的文本正面撞擊。從上一代秘而不宣的陰暗中層層窺探，一個虛幻與謊言共構共生的家庭故事。為謊言所困卻愛聽謊言的母親、善於操弄謊言卻也被謊言愚弄的養子、看盡謊言卻渴望謊言的親生兒子，以及質疑謊言卻迎合謊言的媳婦，共同召喚出暗藏扭曲陰魂不散的權威倫理，挑戰觀眾對東方價值觀之道德禁錮與偽善的反思。
簡莉穎以易卜生經典名作《群鬼》——一個19世紀歐洲社會的受道德禁錮與偽善的家庭作為參照，利用跨時空、跨文化的手法轉世書寫一個當代亞洲家庭的縮影。以銳利的社會觀察與細膩人性描寫著稱的簡莉穎（Netflix獨播臺灣原創影集《人選之人—造浪者》編劇之一），長期關注家庭結構、性別、權力關係與當代社會議題。其創作經常以「重寫經典」與「文本轉譯」為方法，將西方經典劇作轉化為貼近華人文化語境的當代敘事。
跨國卡司：四位實力派演員同台，演繹兩代人的家庭角力
集結臺灣與馬來西亞兩地實力派演員——臺灣影視劇場演員沈威年與金鐘獎入圍者李劭婕，聯手馬來西亞資深劇場導演兼演員蔡德耀，與戲炬獎最佳女主角張曉彤，同台展開兩代人之間相互對峙的家庭謊言、親情綁架與儒家倫理角力。
他們試圖揭穿的，正是他們賴以生存的； 他們渴望掙脫的，正是他們誓死捍衛的。家是權力結構的金字塔，這裡的每一句話都是一場無煙硝戰。有時候不誠實，是因為在意。 至於在意甚麼，鬼知道……當溫良恭儉讓成為無法掙脫的詛咒，一起見證以愛為名的操控與標簽，架構成鬼影幢幢的牢籠，誰也無法獨善其身。
羅國文 × 簡莉穎：冷峻美學碰撞犀利文本
羅國文導演的創作風格向來貫穿對現實社會的深刻關注，借用寓言或經典叩問當下社會體制與人性困境，他擅長融合影像、燈光、音效與演員肢體，探索劇場的視覺與時空美學。過往作品曾榮獲金馬崙藝術大獎——最佳導演、最佳燈光設計等獎項，創作兼具詩意與批判性。其中《蜂》以及《動物農莊》，獲得金馬崙藝術大獎多項提名，後者則斬獲最佳女配角一獎。同時由多位大馬資深劇場工作者參與製作的團隊，如：著名造型設計師呂素君、獨立音樂人李河健、影像設計師Fairuz Sulaiman、舞台設計師曾維凌以及燈光設計師林偉星等人聯合打造。
當經典《群鬼》走進當代亞洲家庭，當「愛」與「謊言」再也無法分割，你又是否能看見自己身處其中的那一道鬼影？《遙遠的東方有一群鬼》將演出共計6場，並在每一場演出結束後進行演後座談，除了導演與演員，台灣編劇簡莉穎更專程飛到吉隆坡參與其盛。誠邀您到劇場，一起揭開這場關於家庭、權力、愛與道德的暗黑寓言。欲知更多演出詳情及購票資訊，請搜尋「平台計劃」與「W Productions」社交媒體專頁以及時掌握最新消息。

Adapted from Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts, the production transforms the classic into a dark contemporary fable set within an Asian family.
A Timeless Classic Reborn: From a 19th-Century European Family to the Human Condition of Contemporary Asia.
Loh Kok Man’s distinctive theatrical language collides head-on with Chien Li-Ying’s sharp and unflinching writing. Together, they peel back layer after layer of the darkness left unspoken by the previous generation, revealing an Asian family built on illusion, secrets and lies.
A mother trapped by lies yet longing to hear them. An adopted son who manipulates lies, only to be deceived by them himself. A biological son who has seen through every lie, yet longs for one. And a daughter-in-law who questions lies, yet ultimately conforms to them.
Together, they summon the distorted and lingering authority of inherited morality, confronting the audience with questions surrounding the moral restraints and hypocrisy embedded within traditional Asian values.
Chien Li-Ying takes Henrik Ibsen’s classic Ghosts, a portrait of a family imprisoned by the moral restraints and hypocrisy of 19th-century European society, as her point of departure. Through a cross-cultural and cross-temporal approach, she transforms the classic into a portrait of the contemporary Asian family.
Known for her sharp social observations and nuanced portrayals of human nature, Chien Li-Ying, one of the writers of the Netflix Taiwanese original series Wave Makers, has long explored family structures, gender, power relations and contemporary social issues. Her practice frequently employs the methods of rewriting classics and textual translation, transforming Western classics into contemporary narratives rooted in Chinese cultural contexts.

Across Borders, On One Stage : Four Acclaimed Performers, Two Generations in Conflict
Bringing together accomplished performers from Taiwan and Malaysia, the production features Taiwanese screen and theatre actor Nelson Shen and Golden Bell Awards nominee Clara Lee, alongside award-winning Malaysian theatre director and actor Yeo Lyle, and Two-Time Best Actress Siew Thung.
Together, they portray two generations locked in a battle of family lies, emotional entrapment and the weight of Confucian morality. They seek to expose the very things they depend on for survival; they long to break free from the very things they are prepared to defend to the death.
The family becomes a pyramid of power, where every word is a battle without gunfire.
Sometimes, we choose dishonesty because we care.
What it is we care about… only the ghosts know.
When traditional values and social expectations become an inescapable curse, control and labels imposed in the name of love slowly construct a cage from which no one can truly escape.

Loh Kok Man × Chien Li-Ying:
Distinctive Theatrical Language Meets Sharp, Unflinching Writing
Loh Kok Man’s directorial practice is deeply rooted in an engagement with contemporary society. Drawing on allegory and classic works, he uses theatre to question existing social structures and the human condition. His work is distinguished by an integration of multimedia, lighting, sound and the physicality of performers, exploring the visual and spatial possibilities of theatre. His previous works have received recognition at the BOH Cameronian Arts Awards, including awards for Best Director and Best Lighting Design, reflecting a practice that balances poetic expression with critical inquiry.
Both The Bee and Animal Farm received multiple BOH Cameronian Arts Awards nominations, with the latter winning Best Supporting Actress.
The production is further brought to life by an accomplished team of Malaysian theatre practitioners, including renowned costume designer Beatrice Looi, independent musician Kent Lee, multimedia designer Fairuz Sulaiman, set designer Wei Lin, and lighting designer Sing Lim.
When the Ghosts of Ghosts Enter the Contemporary Asian Family
When Henrik Ibsen’s Ghosts enters the contemporary Asian family, and when love and lies become impossible to separate, can you recognise the ghost within yourself?
The Ghosts Within will run for six performances from 12 to 15 November 2026 at Pentas 2, The Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac). Each performance will be followed by a post-show discussion, with director Loh Kok Man and the cast taking part. Taiwanese playwright Chien Li-Ying will also make a special trip to Kuala Lumpur to participate.
Audiences are invited to step into this dark fable of family, power, love and morality, and uncover the ghosts that linger beneath the surface. For more information and ticketing details, search for Pentas Project and W Productions on social media, and stay tuned for the latest updates.
