First presented at The Substation, Let’s Chat (1996) was a performance piece by Amanda Heng during which she invited the audience to sit and chat with her at a table while drinking tea and cleaning bean sprouts. The aim was to encourage the audience to rediscover the simpler joys of kampong (Malay for “village”) life and examine the costs of material progress in Singapore. The work was subsequently performed at local shopping malls and markets as well as overseas.
