Synopsis:

Neo Kim Seng grew up in Pasir Panjang on Neo Pee Teck Lane, a side road named after his grandfather, until he moved out in 1973. My Grandfather's Road is a collection of stories of the familial haven that stood along the road, stories that have helped him reconnect with his idyllic childhood and his family's history. It does not dwell in nostalgia but instead explores how personal stories make us who we are.

The latest iteration of My Grandfather's Road includes new stories that were unearthed, new speculations and reflections, and forgotten histories.

Karen Tan will be joined on stage by Loong Seng Onn in the English version. In the Cantonese version, Tan Cher Kian and Gary Tang come together, this time questioning who is telling the real story.

An Esplanade Commission and Production

My Grandfather's Road was first created in 2015 for Cake Theatrical Productions' Running With Strippers. The Cantonese version was developed and presented as The Vault: My Grandfather's Road, a programme of Centre 42, in Nov 2017.

The 2019 presentation of My Grandfather's Road (RHDS) was developed in residence at Centre 42.

《阿爺條路 ~ 兔心龍魂》
梁金成
滨海艺术中心委约与制作

梁金成 (Neo Kim Seng) 在以他的爷爷命名的巴西班让梁丕德巷度过童年,直到1973年搬走为止。《阿爺條路 ~ 兔心龍魂 》结集了一连串在这条巷子发生的家族事件,这些协助了他重新连接童年与家族的历史。这部作品非在怀旧,而是探索个人的故事如何塑造我们。

最新系列的《阿爺條路 ~ 兔心龍魂》包括了最新发掘的故事,新的推测与反思,以及被遗忘了的历史。

英语版本将由陈慧娟 (Karen Tan) 与龍承安 (Loong Seng Onn) 联合呈献现。

粤语版本则由陈子健 (Tan Cher Kian) 与邓官洪 (Gary Tang) 共同演出。这次来探究谁说的故事是真实的。

《阿爺條路》于2015年在Cake Theatrical Productions 的《Running With Strippers》首次呈献现;再发展的粤语版则在2017年11月于42新剧中心(Centre 42)的平台"The Vault"呈献现。

《阿爺條路 ~ 兔心龍魂》2019版本出自于42新剧中心的驻团创作。
