In 1997, due to concerns over the building's structural integrity, the zen temple - which was the training ground for Theatre OX - was slated to be demolished. Meeting with Gong Ma, a project which was developing at the time, was subsequently cancelled due to the lost of venue.
Meeting with Gong Ma composed of folk research led by Ang Gey Pin, and performance structure directed by Lee Chee Keng, with performers Tan Pei Hwee, Beverly Low Yuen Wei, Koh Leng Leng.
These are photographic records of Meeting with Gong Ma's rehearsal process, which was running in tandem with Theatre OX's efforts to preserve the building. This would be the last encounter held by Theatre OX at Pulau Ubin.
