FROM ART TO LIFE, BACK TO ART Ong Keng Sen shares about directing old friends Jacintha and Dick Lee in Lush Life. "There are at least two truths – hers and his – which you will hear from them separately. And maybe there are more truths."

HOW TIME FLEW, WHERE WE ARE NOW “We didn't have a bad time abroad. What makes me sad is this emptiness I cannot fill, that I was separated from my children. I mean it from the bottom of my heart, I cannot fill the emptiness of being separated from you. I realise I can’t fill it, even if I tore myself apart trying.” As part of POA 2026: A Post-Migrant Theatre on 3 May, Hakan Savaş Mican (@hakansavasmican ) reflects on his oeuvre, ‘One Thousand Faces of Mother,’ including his Berlin Trilogy, by employing the lens of his mother to narrate intersectional stories of migration, labour, class, and memory.
