1. The Mysterious Lai Teck (神秘莱特) [caption id="attachment_26842" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] (Credit: Singapore International Festival of Arts)[/caption] Many of us will be familiar with Chin Peng, the leader of the Malayan Communist Party (MCP) but have you heard of Lai Teck, Chin Peng’s predecessor, head of the MCP from 1939 to 1947 and a triple agent for the French, British and Japanese? We think not and that’s because he is pretty much nowhere to be found in our history books! Singapore-born visual artist, Ho Tzu Nyen attempts to fill in the gaps of the mysterious Lai Teck at SIFA 2019. He sets the performance in the turbulent times Lai Teck was part of and intersects history and espionage in a thrilling projector staging of a veiled ghost-like figure who often swung between life and death. Address: SOTA Drama Theatre, 1 Zubir Said Drive, S(227968) Date: 17 – 19 May Time: Fri & Sat: 8pm Sun: 5pm Price: From $40
