Roots
by Oliver Chong (Singapore)
"My surname is also Chong. But my 'Chong' is different from yours. Yours has been castrated. So why bother to find any roots? You don't have roots any more."
Oliver Chong's famed solo show follows his quest to find his familial identity in a swirling melting pot that is Singapore. Digging up ghosts of the past and stumbling upon more questions than answers, he attempts to reclaim his past and shake the ‘Cultural Orphan’ status that Singaporeans grapple with.
