WELCOME

Jacinta Thompson FESTIVAL DIRECTOR, OZASIA FESTIVAL

The Malay Tiger, the national animal of Malaysia and our country of focus in 2013, holds high symbolic importance. With virtues of bravery, strength and regality, the spirit of this powerful symbol, locally known as Harimau, is ever-present amongst Malaysian culture and folklore.

These virtues are present in our two exclusive world premieres: Australian-Japanese-Indonesian collaboration Heart to Heart, a cross-cultural intersection of poetry and music through time and place and Not According to Plan by Leigh Warren Dance, an Australian-Malaysian-VietnameseTaiwanese performance told powerfully through dance, music, design and writing.

Numerous exclusive Australian premieres allow further exploration of the diversity of our neighbouring cultures in a variety of art forms: Malaysian artists Yuna and Guba grace us with their unique voices; Meeting with Bodhisattva offers spiritual drumming and movement from Taiwan; Ontosoroh is an Australian-Indonesian contemporary dance and Javanese music collaboration; Super Everything is a pioneering live music cinema

performance collaboration between UK and Malaysia; Yegam Theatre Company return to Australia for an energetic performance of Extreme Jump; and we are honoured to have our velvet-voiced national icon Kamahl join us this year.

Exhibitions offer a window into the work and impact of Australian Asian artists; OzAsia On Screen brings us nearer to our neighbours through film; and this year we introduce OzAsia on Page, a new literary component.

Experience the culinary and ceremonial customs of Malay, Indian and Chinese weddings with Poh Ling Yeow (from Poh’s kitchen) and enjoy the cooking delights of award winning chefs Chung Jae Lee and Cheong Liew; spoil your senses at our Penang night market Pasar Malam; feed your mind at the Hawke Centre Keynote and Confucius Institute lectures; and immerse yourself in the celebrations of our magical Moon Lantern Festival.

Together with artists, communities, cultural partners and sponsors, I look forward to sharing our unique Festival with you in September.

Jay Weatherill PREMIER OF SOUTH AUSTRALIA, MINISTER FOR THE ARTS The OzAsia Festival is a uniquely South Australian event. Since it began in 2007, it has been an outstandingly successful vehicle for celebrating and enjoying the rich artistic and cultural traditions of Asia, and the increasingly strong linkages with Australian culture.

OzAsia 2013 again brings a wide range of offerings from our region, in theatre, dance, film, and literature – traditional and contemporary. This year, the special focus of the festival is Malaysia, and one of the

results is that the Festival will be presenting two of Malaysia’s leading pop stars, Yuna and Guba.

As ever, there will also be OzAsia’s free public centrepiece, the Moon Lantern festival in Elder Park, to mark the 15th day of the lunar month.

I encourage you to make the most of what you will find on offer in this program.

The festival is there to enjoy, but it is also a source of pride for all of us. Its importance to our future relationships in our region cannot be exaggerated.

PATRON, OZASIA FESTIVAL LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR, SA CHAIRMAN, SOUTH AUSTRALIAN MULTICULTURAL AND ETHNIC AFFAIRS COMMISSION

I’ve been fortunate and greatly honoured to be the Patron of this unique Australian festival. The OzAsia festival is opening the hearts and minds of all South Australia to the rich and diverse cultures and arts of Asia.

OzAsia is a celebration of the cultural diversity of Asia, and has become a much loved and important part of our cultural calendar. It provides an exciting forum for South Australians to enjoy the richness of the arts and culture of the most exciting region in the world.

This year the OzAsia festival focuses on Malaysia. Strong cultural influences from China and India have combined with Malay culture over centuries to produce something truly fascinating and unique. I urge you to bring your family and friends to delight in the spectacular range of events on offer.

Malaysia is one of our closest neighbours, and I believe this year’s OzAsia Festival will bring us even closer together.

Douglas Gautier

CEO & ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, ADELAIDE FESTIVAL CENTRE

Now in its seventh year, the OzAsia Festival continues to grow and be acknowledged as our country’s preeminent Asian/Australian cultural engagement event. This Festival is part of our overall positioning of the Adelaide Festival Centre as a national hub for ongoing Asian/Australian cultural collaboration.

I also take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank everyone involved in this Festival: artists, staff, sponsors, presenting partners, community groups and audiences. It is through this joint effort that we give momentum and life to this significant cultural initiative, now and the decades ahead.

Yuna

“IT’S HARD NOT TO IMMEDIATELY FALL IN LOVE WITH MALAYSIAN SINGER-SONGWRITER YUNA” ROLLING STONE

Internationally praised Malaysian-born, LA-based songstress Yuna brings her sweet vocals to this Australian Premiere and exclusive performance.

After becoming a star in Malaysia, Yuna was signed to a record deal in the US on the strength of her playful, folk-pop tunes that bring to mind the best of Feist, Lianne La Havas, and fellow countrywoman Zee Avi. Nominated as one of MTV Iggy’s Best New Bands in the World she has played all around the globe and worked with well-known producer

Pharrell Williams.

Her self-titled debut album arrived in 2012.

That year she shared the Lollapalooza stage with the likes of Florence + the Machine, Jack White and Childish Gambino.

In 2013 she performed vocals on Shine Your Way on The Croods soundtrack and in May she released Sixth Street, her first release on Verve records – the American jazz label also home to artists Andrea Bocelli, Carla Bruni and Diana Krall.

“WHEN I MET YUNA AND LISTENED TO HER MUSIC… IT WAS THAT SPECIAL THING WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TO WHAT YOU EXPECT. EVERY TIME SHE SINGS YOU ARE LOCKED IN…” PHARRELL WILLIAMS, MUSIC PRODUCER

“A GREAT AND COMPLEX BEAUTY TO THE DRUMMING, SOUNDS AND SILENCE…” THE NEW YORK TIMES

“...THEIR BODIES ACT OUT A LANGUAGE BOTH RELIGIOUS AND ARTISTIC, AS THE DRUMS AND GONGS RATTLE THE HEARTS OF THE AUDIENCE.” TAIWAN REVIEW

6

Meeting with Bodhisattva Sixteen drummers slice through the air, striking their instruments with impossible precision. Their mantra is silent yet clear: rid the mind of impurity, relinquish the dualism that divides thought and act and become the drum. It’s age-old Buddhist insight remade in rhythm in Meeting with Bodhisattva, U-Theatre’s work devoted to the God of Wisdom.

U-T HE AT R E

Under the direction of Liu Ruo-Yu and music director Huang Chih-Chun, Taiwan’s most revered theatre troupe breaks from its own rigorous training high on Laochuan Mountain to offer up, and to embody, this immensely physical tale of the search for inner calm amid chaos. Through an enlightening whirlwind of athletic drumming, martial arts, Buddhist chanting, and sacred dance, Meeting with Bodhisattva tells of one man’s chance encounter with a deity, whose only way to wisdom is through letting go.

Spirituality through divine drumming and movement.

A new collaboration from the next generation of theatre makers in Australia and Indonesia.

Following her first full-length dance work at OzAsia Festival in 2011, Australian dancer/ choreographer Ade Suharto takes to the stage with Peni Candra Rini, a captivating vocalist and composer leading the next-generation of Indonesian music culture.

Together the two artists reimagine Nyai Ontosoroh, the visionary and heroic female lead in Pramoedya Ananta Toer’s iconic Indonesian literary classic This Earth of Mankind.

This original new dance performance explores themes of feminine strength and rebellion through dance with live music.

Sharing the stage with some of Indonesia’s brightest musical talents: percussionist Plenthe, gendèr player Iswanto and Prisha Bashori Musthofa on violin, Ontosoroh explores memories of becoming, of struggle and of freedom.

This is an Asialink Project supported by Arts SA and the AustraliaIndonesia Institute.

T’ang Quartet “THIS ENSEMBLE IS OUTSTANDING. UNANIMITY OF ATTACK IS UNCANNY, AND INTONATION AND INTERNAL BALANCE BOTH IMPRESS GREATLY. THESE ARE PLAINLY MINDS WHICH SHARE A WAVELENGTH.” THE EVENING STANDARD

T’ang Quartet is known for many things: groundbreaking, cutting-edge and artistically impeccable.

Underlying that patina of acclaim is a lot of hard work.

Constant innovation, steady reinvention and regular updates are the name of the game for the T’ang Quartet. For the past 20 years, the group’s musical dexterity has surprised and delighted audiences in Singapore and the rest of the world.

In their premiere performance at the OzAsia Festival, you will be delighted by their program; an artful blend of East and West, seamlessly reinterpreting

classical work for contemporary fans while appealing to traditional audiences.

Featuring compositions from Franghiz Ali-zadeh, Hu Xiao Ou, Kelly Tang and Elena Kats-Chernin.

A playful reference to the last names of the group’s members, ‘T’ang’ also symbolises the golden age of cultural expression in the Tang Dynasty, an acknowledgement of their Asian roots.

Fight the Landlord A clever and comical performance that looks at serious issues that impact our everyday lives.

Performed in the round on Her Majesty’s Theatre stage and set around a card table amongst a forest of plastic trees, three girls dressed as pandas start a game of Fight the Landlord. Over the card table they talk celebrity gossip, property prices and divorce rates, living off their parents, babies, love affairs, pay rises, luxury goods and 3D films.

In this international collaboration between Ireland’s Pan Pan Theatre and Beijing’s Square Moon Culture emerges a new generation of contemporary theatre that examines life in China in a time of constant change.

and sonorities of the Japanese biwa and koto. Superbly performed by Duo Trystero – tenor Robert Macfarlane and guitarist Alex Tsiboulski.

Australian composer David Kotlowy’s two sensual song-cycles celebrate love, loss and passion in verses from Ancient Japan to Modern Indonesia.

Lagu Cinta (Love Songs) is a contemporary reinvention of traditional Indonesian art-forms.

It brings together the gamelan’s distinctive sonorities and the love poems of Sitok Srengenge, one of Indonesia’s most acclaimed living poets. The songs are a dynamic union of rhythm, melody and harmony, beautifully performed by soprano Kate Macfarlane, tenor Robert Macfarlane, and Gamelan In Situ.

Koibitotachi (The Lovers) is inspired by the Japanese tanka poetic form, imagining a correspondence between a Japanese woman and a French man. The multicultural dialogue of the text, French and Japanese, is reflected in references to French composers who were themselves influenced by the East,

When any life begins there is no guarantee that it will go according to plan.

Not According to Plan is a rhapsodic adventure that charts the life of Xiao Xiong Zhang and our responses to his journey; his tenacity, his courage and his transformation from a student of Chinese history in Beijing to a dancer, photographer, choreographer and calligrapher. From a life of unimaginable isolation into one of a worldwide dance family.

Created by a team of artists who all have inspiring success stories of talent and dedication in triumph over the challenges that life has dealt them.

A profoundly moving, funny, surprising and provocative experience These original stories take us from historical conflict zones in China, Indonesia, Korea and Sri Lanka, via tumultuous and surprising twists and turns to present day lives. The narratives cover a diverse range of life experiences, from a daring escape by fishing boat, to a grand arrival by cruise ship; from exile on a labour farm to the gruelling dance routines at Shanghai’s first burlesque club; and from a Chinese marriage market to an Australian queer wedding.

The scripts have been developed by the individual cast members in collaboration with the directors, and they are accompanied by photographs from family archives, giving audiences a rare glimpse into private lives.

Directed by acclaimed photographer and storyteller William Yang and respected media figure and writer Annette Shun Wah.

Eyes on Asia

TH E AUSTRALIA N MEDIA’S B LIND SP OT KEYNOTE LECTURE : JA NE H UTCH EON

The Federal government’s White Paper Australia in the Asian Century is an aspirational document that has outlined the possibilities for economic, cultural and linguistic growth if Australia was to embrace the goal of greater integration and engagement with Asia.

Since returning from overseas to join the ABC News in 2010, and in the wake of the White Paper, highly experienced international journalist Jane Hutcheon has occupied a unique vantage point from which to see the ebbs and flows of recent media coverage of Asia.

According to Jane Hutcheon, Australia’s media covers Asia when it wants to. While widely reported, the themes of the White Paper seem to have largely been ignored.

Few mainstream media organisations make it a goal to cover Asia comprehensively. It is a selective approach which is often down to individual journalists and the weight they carry.

Born in Hong Kong, Jane has been a prominent media figure in Australia with many international assignments during her career. As a former correspondent and ABC News anchor, Jane has observed the workings of the Australian media for more than twenty years.

In this provocative discussion, Jane will reflect on the attitudes and issues holding back wider engagement.

BIOGRAPHY: Jane Hutcheon is a journalist with ABC News. She presents the interview program One Plus One as well as The World on the ABC’s news channel, ABC News 24, which launched in July 2010. She is the author of From Rice to Riches.

Jane was an international television correspondent based in China, the Middle East and Europe for more than a decade.

She has covered events including the Hong Kong Handover (1997), IsraeliPalestinian conflict (2000), the aftermath of the Iraq invasion (2003-2005), The London Bombings (2005), Hurricane Katrina (2005), and the IsraeliLebanon War (2006).

Apart from her experience as a presenter and a correspondent, she has developed a reputation as an incisive interviewer, building One Plus One into a solid addition to the rolling news coverage on the ABC’s news channel.

Parah

THE I NSTA NT CA FÉ THEATRE CO M PAN Y

Pariah [puh-rahy-uh] noun 1. An outcast.

2. Any person or animal that is generally despised or avoided.

3. A member of a low caste in southern India and Burma.

Does a word really have the power to change the course of a friendship?

Funny, provocative and moving, Parah asks urgent questions about love, home and belonging.

Four friends, who could be the poster children of 1Malaysia, start questioning their history and identity after discovering a page of their assigned reading, Interlok, has been ripped out.

Upon investigating the source of this seemingly innocent act, they unearth a layer of politics that begins to strain their relationships. Perhaps the racial gap in today’s Malaysia is much wider than they thought.

Written by Alfian Sa’at Directed by Jo Kukathas.

Set in Kuala Lumpur’s gritty underworld, two brothers Ad and Am work in a baby trafficking network. Both brothers want a better life; one saves money (but gambles) while the other dreams of winning a dance competition. A failed connection with their prostitute mother and the death of a friend motivates Ad to find his freedom.

Bookworm Mitsuya Majime lands a dream job researching for a new soon to be published dictionary. He leads an ordered life, with a close eye on detail, until the arrival of his landlady’s granddaughter… Set in the 90s, with less emphasis on technology, this is a refreshing tale from an accomplished director.

It’s a summer’s day and retired forester Faik is receiving visitors at the family’s rural property in Anatolia. Despite the summer setting, the mood is muted; Faik is having problems with a band of nomads and is constantly on guard.

It’s Busan in 1982 and a crooked customs officer discovers a stash of heroin. His plan is to sell it in Japan but he needs a business partner.

But when the war against crime is declared, cracks begin to form in their relationship. Who will have the last laugh?

From debut features to works from experienced auteurs, this is a fabulous collection of Asia Pacific cinematic art. There is energetic brilliance from South Korea and thoughtful still pieces from Turkey. An ethnographic labour of love from a Philippine national treasure and a visually stunning film from a female Indonesian director and daughter of film royalty – interestingly, both are reverent depictions of sea gypsies and their ways of the sea. The feisty gangbusters Part 1 and 2 from the most exciting

contemporary filmmaker of India wraps up the 2012 APSA-winning features on offer. Finally, from Iraq, an important and incredibly moving account on the fallout of war and the damage done to those most vulnerable. I know you will enjoy this collection of multi-award winning films and celebrate Australia’s inclusion in this vibrant and clever region that is holding the future of cinema in the palm of its hand.

Director: Reis Çelik (Turkey 2012) 91mins • DRAMA

Director: Kim Ki-duk (South Korea 2012) 104mins • THRILLER

Set in remote Turkey, an arranged marriage should settle an ongoing feud between two families. The groom, who has spent most of his life imprisoned for murder, is much older than his teen bride. In the bedroom, a slow and compelling dialogue unfolds between the newlyweds who are expected to produce stained bed sheets by the morning.

Pietà is set in a Seoul slum where tough guy and debt collector Kang-do works using violent methods. One day a woman appears on his doorstep claiming to be his mother and to test her, he cuts off one of his toes and demands she eats it. She does. This film is undeniably violent but comes from one of Korea’s most prolific directors and is essential viewing for cinephiles. Winner – Venice Film Festival Golden Lion.

Part 2 of this crime saga focuses on the new generation in Wasseypur that is almost unrecognisable.

Satyajit Ray

R E M AST E R E D

Satyajit Ray (1921-1992) is one of the greatest auteurs. He directed 36 films and his first, Panther Panchali (1955) won 11 international awards including Best Human Documentary at the Cannes Film Festival and established him as a significant international director.

In partnership with Adelaide Festival Centre’s OzAsia Festival, Adelaide Cinémathèque is delighted to showcase these recently restored films by master director and Indian national treasure, Satyajit Ray, to coincide with the anniversary of 100 years of Indian cinema.

THE BIG CITY (MAHANAGAR) Director: Satyajit Ray (India 1963) 131mins Inspired by Italian neo-realism, this is a wonderful insight into 1950s Calcutta. Subrata works in a bank and is the only member of his family with an income.

Bucking tradition, his wife Arati works as a door-to-door salesgirl. Her success brings self-confidence and financial independence, but her husband is threatened by his wife’s success and wants her to quit… will she?

THE COWARD (KAPURUSH)

Charulata is considered Ray’s crowning achievement.

Set in 1880s Calcutta, the beautiful Charulata lives in opulent splendour secluded from the outside world. Her husband, Bhupati, adores her but becomes consumed by the publication of his new political newspaper. Charulata’s heart is captured with the arrival of Bhupati’s cousin Amal, leading to complication, disillusionment and heartbreak.

Amitabha (Ray regular Soumitra Chatterjee) is a screenwriter from Calcutta, stranded amongst tea plantations when his car breaks down. Taken in by the wealthy Bimal, Amitabh is shocked to discover Bimal’s wife, Karuna, is a past love who was lost because he couldn’t commit.

Bimal, is unaware of the past between his wife and guest and over the course of the evening, Amitabha discovers Karuna’s marriage is not a happy one. Will he get a second chance?

‘One of Ray’s best films with a superb music score of his own composition’ TIME OUT.

China has a diverse ethnic composition with some 55 national minorities causing tensions to emerge at times.

What should the Chinese Government do to ensure ethnic equity and peace?

It could follow the example of the USA and India, but those countries’ minorities are generally subordinated.

Join Professor Barry Sautman as he compares the ethnic policies from the three countries.

He has examined the global mystification by politicians and media of these questions, as well as the issue of dissent in China. His other area is China-Africa links, including political economy, labour rights, migration between China and Africa and interactions between Chinese and Africans, representations and perceptions of China and Chinese in Africa, and the supposed strategic rivalry between the USA and China in Africa.

The migration and settlement of any large racial group in a new host country is complex.

The complexity of the Chinese diaspora in Australia can be seen in the distinctive and diverse Chinese Australians here. These categories are often reduced in the popular imagination to a single Asian stereotype.

Made in China, Australia presents works that reveal a range of particular Chinese Australian pathways and lived experiences.

The exhibition questions how the work of Chinese Australian artists is affected by the particular Chinese Australian heritage and experiences they have had. Some of the artists in the exhibition were born here, others travelled here in the past and some are recent arrivals.

Slumbering Tiger Awakens

This new mural will explore Dash88’s Chinese/Malay heritage, his connection to old values and traditions while living in a western society, and how this has influenced his distinctive East meets West visual style.

Dash88 is an Australian artist of Chinese Malay ancestry. Growing up in Thornlie, on the Armadale train line, he witnessed the early developments of graffiti in Perth.

Slumbering Tiger Awakens pays respect to his cultural ancestry, as well as the firm roots and ties to his graffiti heritage and its influence. An acute observer of the beautiful and the mundane, painting is an extension of his spirit through the flow of the hand.

Painting his first piece in 1988, the following year he joined the lineup of 21C/21st Century crew along with Shime, Buen and Mistery. In 1990 he painted what may be the first graffiti mural in Penang, on the wall of his Grandmothers Soy Sauce factory.

KENDI & KERIKAL: Ceremonial Malay Silverware from the Art Gallery of South Australia’s Southeast Asian Collection Created as reflections of wealth and prestige, Malay Silverware has long been appreciated as treasured masterpieces in royal courts and aristocratic circles across the Malay world. However, the rich symbolism underlying the restrained elegance of its design awaits closer scrutiny. Contextualising the function of Malay Silverware, within its contemporary cultural and social environment, allows us to gain fresh perspectives on the absorption and fusion of Islamic themes into existing domestic Hindu, Buddhist and Animistic templates in Southeast Asia art.

Paradise

on Earth{

Paradise on Earth presents Asian art whose themes of flowers express notions of felicity and wellbeing inspired by the Islamic vision of Paradise as a beautiful garden. The curator, James Bennett, discusses how the floral imagery, created over the period of a millennium, in the art of the Middle East, India and Indonesia reflects Qur’anic descriptions of Paradise and display a quintessentially Islamic aesthetic.

Two fine specimens of the Malay silversmith’s craft, both from the Art Gallery’s collection, provide the focal point for an introductory exploration into this world of oriental shadows and Malay arabesques.

Stairway to Heaven: Art from the Himalayas presents the painting and sculptural art of the ‘diamond vehicle’ of esoteric Buddhism from Tibet and Nepal. Curated by Russell Kelty, the display also features works by contemporary artists who seek to integrate Tibet’s sacred iconography into a Western aesthetic context.

Of particular interest are the photographs and drawings in the display which document the curiosity of European artists for the Himalayas, a region regarded by many as remote and inaccessible until the late 20th century.

Noble shadows: Ancestral art of Indonesia and Australia explores the close parallels existing between the indigenous art of Indonesia and Australia. From pre-historic times, artists in both countries have utilised art as a medium for expressing spirituality and reverence for ancestors. The display features art made for ritual use and explores the unique role of performance art, in the form of masks, puppetry and body-painting designs, enabling the living to communicate with the unseen realm.

Forgotten Connections IN D IA AN D SO U T H AU ST R A L I A 1880s – 1940 s

In 1994 Malaysian architect Hijjas Kasturi, and his Australian born wife Angela Hijjas, established a residency for a Malaysian and an Australian artist to jointly work for one year on their residential property outside Kuala Lumpur, Rimbun Dahan. The program has expanded and now includes a three month residency in George Town, Penang.

Rimbun Dahan – Cultivating the Garden features the work of Australian artists who have been beneficiaries of the residency programs in Malaysia, and acknowledges and celebrates the contribution that the experience has made to their creative lives.

Cross cultural pollination at its finest.

During the 1880s-1940s, there was a thick web of connections between India and Australia with traders, travellers and missionaries journeying between Indian and Australian ports. Members of elite Australian families joined big game hunts in India and some British officials retired from Indian service to the Australian colonies. Visits

by Indian Christian converts inspired Australian Christians to raise funds and to encourage more recruits for the cause, while Indians traded as hawkers in remote corners of the Australian countryside. There was a ‘historically rich Indian perspective’ within Australian consciousness.

Speaker: Professor Emerita Margaret Allen, University of Adelaide.
