Who Are We? 我们是谁？
Traditions & Editions Theatre Circus (TETC)
A theatre collective comprising 29 graduates (over 4 cohorts) from Theatre Training & Research Programme (TTRP). TETC is based in Singapore, but spans different countries- Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Hong Kong, Macau, China, Taiwan, Japan, India, Poland and Mexico.
Sharing similar artistic sensibilities and emerging from the tutelage of the late Mr Kuo Pao Kun, we have come together to continue the legacy of our mentor’s significant vision of inter-cultural theatre in the world. This is our collective effort to keep alive in practice, his artistic vision and the training methodology expressed in the unique curriculum and inter-cultural approaches of TTRP, which he co-founded with current Director T. Sasitharan.
Our company’s creative philosophy is driven by a passion to cultivate global cultural sensitivity, steeped in the multiculturalism reflecting Singapore, so as to contribute dynamically to the current world’s identity of diversity. For each production, we will aim for a stimulating creative exchange among artists and draw on one or many easily-forgotten / neglected Asian memories and the associated dogmas, beliefs, traditions and heritages - not from the "museumized" and limited ‘official’ versions – so as to truthfully comment on contemporary questions regarding living in a modern world.

《灵戏》剧情简介
灵的世界,一片混沌。
战争结束。荒野上。
五个被遗忘的人，心神不定地寻觅着回家的路。
辛酸的过去、流离的命运、逝去的梦想……
他们，唯有在凭吊中寻回一丝抚慰。
记忆留存, 痛楚不灭, 愧疚接踵至。
因为往事不堪回首，五个人的爱恨情仇难以释怀而纠结一起……
有人不堪：“以死报国，是死得其所！”
有人反击：“可是我们有打胜仗吗？我们是英勇坚强的吗？”
由始至终，他们漂移着。
_______________________________________________
郭宝崑先生创作的《灵戏》是新加坡的经典剧本之一。它唤回我们对二十世纪太平洋战争的记忆，深刻地揭示了战役所带来的痛楚、愧疚、错乱，并回溯这一段被忘却的残酷杀戮。以人道关怀的角度出发, 写于1998年的剧本至今仍受到关注。
这部以多种语言呈献的作品，将集合三代艺术工作者的创意巧思——已故剧作家郭宝崑的经典剧本、戏剧盒艺术总监郭庆亮的执导和‘剧场训练与研究课程’毕业生的演绎。虽然大家来自五湖四海，在不同的领域各自发展，但我们深信艺术不分国界，创作的精神、理念是相通的。
'THE SPIRITS PLAY'' synopsis
Synopsis
The world of spirits is a world of flux.
Five post-war personas in a state of limbo gather at a deserted place.
Searching for a way home, they stop only to hear each other’s poignant tales of war and loss, endeavors and bygone dreams.
Soon, haunting memories of guilt and pain are unveiled and they realize they are tangled to each other in their choices and consequences.
With their relationship to each other now clear, they unleash a series of questions about the sense and senselessness of war.
‘To die for the motherland is to die in glory!’ against ‘Did we win the battle? Was there any real deed of bravery?’
They start drifting again.
___________________________________________________
The Spirits Play, one of Singapore’s most important theatre classics, was written by the late Mr Kuo Pao Kun in 1998. It evokes memories from the 20th century Pacific War which swept through Asia and Europe and investigates the guilt, pain and complexities which the war incited. A play that is valued across generations for its universally embracing theme for Asia and the world, and its powerfully delivered message - the triumph of human oral histories over silenced war atrocities.
This multi-lingual production unites creative energies across three generations: highly cherished dramatist-playwright Kuo Pao Kun, esteemed director Kok Heng Leun, artistic director of Drama Box and TTRP graduate artists. It is our belief that the living and the deceased are only separated physically but never mentally, spiritually and creatively.
