A new devised play featuring a lineup of veteran & new theatre performers.
In 1969, Kuo Pao Kun wrote and directed The Struggle, which was banned by the government two weeks before its opening. The artistic team was forced to replace the performance with poetry recital and skits. The Struggle remains Kuo Pao Kun's only script yet to be staged. It reflects upon the social turmoil resulting from rapid urban development and people's struggles against these changes back in the 70s.
40 years later, Liu Xiaoyi leads an eclectic ensemble which consists of Yang Shi Bin, Kuo Jing Hong, Doreen Toh, Hung Chit Wah Felix and Chong Woon Yong to revisit its relationship and relevance in this modern era.
