人說人生如夢,她說夢如人生,
短短的一剎,她快樂,她興奮,
匆匆的一場,她悲哀,她苦悶。
當她從夢中醒覺,却已走完了一生……
People say life is like a dream,
She says a dream is like life,
There is joy and celebration,
There is sorrow and grief,
When awaken from a dream, she has come to the end of life…
一個在齷齪之中找尋純潔的廁所女工。
從小,林黛就是她最知心的朋友;
平凡的她,渴望像林黛一樣在舞台上發光發熱。
她在停不下來的現實中竭力奔走,
從一個地方走到另一個地方,
和不同的人,和自己,不停地對話與傾訴,
她一邊走一邊尋找,
走在現實與夢境交錯的時空裡,
回到她成長的房子,
在一家Kopitiam休息,
走進電影院看電影,
坐上迷你巴士,
最後,她停在一座寺廟里。
隨著林黛一段又一段的經典歌曲,
走完她既有趣又淒美的一生……

Ang Tau Mui, a toilet cleaner, has been idolizing Lin Dai since young. As a working-class woman, she has always yearned to shine on stage just as Lin Dai. Ang Tau Mui has been striving in the tangible reality; from one place to the other, running and searching, speaking and confiding with people and herself. While traversing between reality and dream, she returns to her childhood house, rests in a kopitiam, catches a movie in a cinema, rides on the mini bus, and finally, she stops at an old temple. Trailing after Lin Dai’s songs, her captivating yet poignant story has come to an end….
A Modern Woman Called Ang Tau Mui is an English classic play written by Leow Puay Tin. Director Loh Kok Man has adapted the play in both Mandarin and Cantonese since 2001. In year 2011, he was invited to stage the play in Macau City Fringe Festival. This year, a brand new collaboration has given rise to the role of Ang Tau Mui being shared between two artists; Tammi Tam and Thian Siew Kim. This monologue play will be a new version of the timely theatrical classic, a work to reveal a deconstruction of virtual reality and fantasy. With the integration of video art by Fairuz Sulaiman and costume design by Michell Yong, the play is set to narrate and elaborate the intriguing life of this modern woman.
