The Vault: My Grandfather's Road (Singaporean Cantonese)

"My Grandfather’s Road" was first presented in 2015 as an English-language monologue, a photo exhibition and a book. It was conceived and written by Neo Kim Seng as a way of reconnecting with childhood memories of living on Neo Pee Teck Lane, which was named after his paternal grandfather. In 2017, Kim Seng revisits the text of My Grandfather’s Road, refreshing it in the spoken language of his childhood – Cantonese. He also explores Cantonese as it is spoken on both sides of the Causeway.

This version of "The Vault: My Grandfather's Road" is written and performed in Singaporean Cantonese by Gary Tang.
