Inspired by the title of a poem by Australian writer Henry Lawson, Past Caring is an interdisciplinary theatrical collaboration involving artists from Singapore and Australia. Urgent issues of adoption, displacement, family, land and journey will be weaved together into a complex and contemporary presentation of text, music, multimedia and movement. In a year-long process, the project involved artists making field trips, conducting interviews and creating and presenting nascent works in Singapore and Melbourne. Past Caring will finally see its World Premiere in Singapore on 25 February 2009.
