Artistic Director ONG Keng Sen hosts talk show in Tallinn, European Cultural Capital 2011 !!
Our Artistic Director Keng Sen will host a unique Talk Show at upcoming NU Peformance Festival IV which takes place from 7 to 10 November 2011. This bi-annual festival for international contemporary performance and theatre is hosted exclusively at the Sokos Hotel Viru. In the light of the festivities related to Tallinn European Capital of Culture 2011, NU Performance Festival IV has invited artistic contributions that revolve around the idea and practice of hospitality.
The Continuum: Beyond The Killing Fields makes its Brazilian premiere this October and November 2011! First conceived and directed by Artistic Director Ong Keng Sen in 2001, the production will embark on a three-city tour of Brazil: Rio de Janeiro (Festival Panorama), Belo Horizonte (Fórum Internacional de Dança) and Sao Paulo. We will share with the Brazilian public this moving documentary-performance on Cambodian artists who survived the Khmer Rouge regime; and draw parallels with Brazil’s cultural memories and history as the country prepares to host the World Cup in 2014 and Olympics in 2016.
CONNECT, CONNECT …. our artistic director ONG Keng Sen alongside Alain Platel, Rene Pollesch and Philippe Quesnes, will be mentors to new productions, each realised by two artists who have not worked together previously. Keng Sen has selected Rani Nair and Mia Habib, both choreographers and dancers residing in Malmö/Oslo. Their new work will premiere at The SPIELART Munich Theater Festival in November 2011.
