Lai Wen Xin, Director | Low Pey Sien, Co-producer

TaTaTa

What does it mean to age - and to witness someone you love slowly slip away? In TaTaTa, director Lai Wen Xin draws on deeply personal memories of her grandmother to stage a moving dance theatre performance about ageing, identity, and connection. Featuring acclaimed actress Anne James, this interdisciplinary work invites audiences into the heart of Seri Kembangan New Village, where stories unfold through dance, dialogue, and design. As Wen Xin continues her own search for understanding, TaTaTa gently asks: how do we hold space for those we can no longer fully reach? We speak to Wen Xin and the show’s co-producer, Low Pey Sien, to find out more.
