[spectre] Baling (membaling) performance tour, Malaya

[Five Arts Centre]

Baling (membaling)
a performance tour to colleges, universities and futsal centres

15 - 24 January 2006


Originally performed to critical acclaim as part of Five Arts 
Centre's Directors' Workshop 5 in June last year, Baling (membaling) 
is a docu-performance that re-presents some of the voices and 
experiences of pre-independence Malaya. 



Recollections of the 1955 Baling peace talks by journalist and 
activist Said Zahari are interspersed with text from key participants 
at the actual talks - then chief minister Tunku Abdul Rahman and Chin 
Peng, secretary-general of the Communist Party of Malaya.  The 
'tools' of British colonialism - arms and propaganda - are also 
explored, as well as more personal experiences of the Emergency, 
researched from the performers' families and friends.


Featuring a multi-disciplinary cast that includes visual artist Chang 
Yoong Chia, graphic designer Fahmi Reza & filmmaker Imri Nasution.  
Directed by Mark Teh and produced by Wong Tay Sy.
