Description The Australia Malaysia Institute sponsored performances of Adam Broinowski's play "Know No Cure" in Kuala Lumpur. The six performances attracted good audiences with the full opening night performance attended by members of the artistic, business, media, government and diplomatic communities in Malaysia. The play was performed by two actors, one Australian and one Malaysian. The aim of the production was to teach and communicate different perspectives across cultures and to find common ground in the shared conditions of modernity.
"Know No Cure" was held as part of the My.Oz Program 2007, a year-long festival of Australian culture in Malaysia, organised by the Australian High Commission in Kuala Lumpur, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Australia-Malaysia relations and Malaysian independence. The production was also supported by the Malaysian Ministry of Culture, Arts and Heritage, making it an inter-governmental collaboration as well as an intercultural collaboration between artists. The performance was taken to Melbourne in 2007.
