A bi- annual theatre project in Malaysia, Pentas Theatre Collaboration Project is a platform of interaction within different cultures and realms and encourages diversities and possibilities in theatre arts and theatre language.
Three theatre directors are invited to participate and a common theme is decided by mutual agreement. The directors then create their individual pieces based on the discussions and the three pieces are then presented in the same evening.
The 2006 collaboration, based on the theme of Language, was between three Malaysian companies, Pentas Project Theatre Production, The Instant Cafe Theatre Company, and Alternative Stage Theatre Company. The result was a triple-bill of plays -Silence, Please (English) directed by Jo Kukathas, Repot [Mind+Mine] (Mandarin) directed by Loh Kok Man and WIP (Malay) directed by Nam Ron.
BREAK-ING / 击破 (ji po) / Ka Si Pe Cah had stage in Tokyo in Feb 2008 before playing at The Studios season.
"These three pieces, as a whole, have challenged us not only in our thinking about language, but also in our thinking beyong language." - Kakiseni.com
In English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Hakka, Hokkien and Malay, with English subtitles where necessary.
