Benoit LaChambre / Ong Keng Sen - like the cat sitting on the edge of an ocean of milk, hoping to lap it all up

Opening Of 72-13
Performance
Thursday, 15 – Saturday, 17 September 2005, 8pm
Free admission
“..for we are all outsiders..." This first-time collaboration between Benoit LaChambre and Ong Keng Sen challenges the parameters of contemporary dance by working with the narrative of a grand epic and a personal response of a parallel dream universe, a revered Asian text and the outsider.
This collaboration starts from the great Indian epic Ramayana which has transmigrated to diverse parts of South East Asia and which has become assimilated as the Thai, Indonesian, Laotian, Burmese, Malaysian, Cambodian story of all times. A thrilling tale of abduction, battle, love played out in a universe thronged with heroes, deities, monkeys, demons and Sita. The first work running to twenty-four thousand stanzas was said to be composed in a state of pure inspiration in 1500BC.
like the cat... is conceived by Ong as an experiment of culture where LaChambre, and the audience who perhaps knows only fragments of the original story, enter into an abstract landscape vibrating with characters and intense dream states. With LaChambre singularly suggesting the major characters, our landing pad is far away from any preconceived space, time, or identity.
Benoit La Chambre collaborates often with Meg Stuart, the latest being "Forgeries, Love and Other Matters" (2004) premiering in the mainstage of Avignon Festival, Other collaborators include Sasha Waltz, Lynda Gaudreau, Boris Charmatz, Saskia Holbling, Laurent Goldring, Isabelle Schad, Jennifer Lacey, and Marie Chouinard. LaChambre first came to Asia to join the TheatreWorks “The Flying Circus Project” in December 2004. From there, Ong introduced him to Indonesian and other Asian artists. Rehearsals for like the cat... began in Tokyo where the two of them met for an intense exploration.
l have always felt that the project is about these characters and the stories in which Benoit and I are embedded in our daily lives and dreams; it is not just about them nor are we talking about us. It is this story.
