Synopsis:

Asia-in-Theatre Research Circus (ATRC) was founded in 1987 by the late William Teo. For 15 years, the theatre company, with Teo as its artistic director, created and produced some of Singapore’s most unique and visually-arresting English-language productions. ATRC was in search of a new theatrical expression, experimenting with merging various Asian performing arts traditions with English-language contemporary theatre. With Teo’s sudden passing in 2001, ATRC ceased operations soon after.

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of ATRC’s founding, Robin Loon assembles a panel of past ATRC collaborators in this Living Room. Join Elizabeth de Roza, Jeremiah Choy, Lok Meng Chue, and Neo Kim Seng as they discuss the extraordinary achievements of this bygone theatre company and its founder.
