TALK & STAGED READINGS:  ARTIST LEE JOO FOR

Saturday, 8 November 2025, 3:00PM - 5:30PM

Visual artist Lee Joo For was one of the most prolific playwrights in the 1960s writing over 30 plays  with such eclectic titles as The Campus is Not a Baby Land, Nero Has Arisen in Malaysia, When the Sun Sets in the Shade of the Jambu Tree. Today he is best known as a boundary-pushing visual artist but in the 60s he was part of the theatre movement, writing plays, designing brochures, creating sets alongside Syed Ahmad Jamal. 

Adele Tan, Senior Curator at National Gallery Singapore, will share the work and life of the fascinating and eccentric Lee Joo For and talk about his visual and theatrical legacy. There will be a staged reading of some of his absurdist theatre after the talk.

In collaboration with the Instant Cafe Theatre as part of their month-long research & performance festival What The Elders Left Us.
