SUMMARY:SIFA Pavilion at Bedok Town Square
DESCRIPTION:Imagined as a transient arts space charged with multidisciplinary artistic expression and public engagement\, the SIFA Pavilion lends a powerful new dimension to the Festival’s relationship with the shared public environ; the common space where our plural narratives co-exist. \nA colossal installation\, titled Beneath Tide\, Running Water\, by visual artist Wang Ruobing doubles as a performance stage\, becoming the visual icon of the Festival’s first Pavilion\, an environment built to engender collaboration and gathering through the conduit of performance. \nThe SIFA Pavilion lasts for the course of the Festival hosting multiple works bringing performance and the public together. Situated at Bedok Town Square\, and taking in the social and historical contexts of Bedok\, with its rich history influenced by the sea\, old charm and a diverse urban community today\, the SIFA Pavilion becomes its own ecosystem cycling through the multi-arts experience and sprouting so much creative possibility.

SUMMARY:HOME
DESCRIPTION:On stage\, a house appears from nothing. It goes up fast\, choreographed like time-lapse photography. Residents move in\, move out\, get evicted\, burn it down\, loot it\, rent it\, remodel it\, get married and divorced in it\, grow up in it\, die in it\, haunt it. And all the while\, they leave and live among traces of residents from the present\, past and future. They throw a party\, as if everyone who ever lived there cohabitated\, transcending time and space. \nHOME is a large-scale performance work that explores and explodes the relationship between “house” and “home”. A visual and physical spectacle\, HOME combines dance\, illusion\, live music\, homespun engineering\, and inventive audience interaction to compose a work that asks\, “Where is home? If it is not a place\, what is home?” \nHOME aims to awaken us to current housing dilemmas\, local and global. The universal and timely themes of gentrification and migration are rendered in the choreography of ordinary people inhabiting a structure\, leaving that structure through a variety of social\, political\, personal\, and aesthetic forces\, and replacing one another. HOME seeks to use the house of the theatre as a lens through which we might see the impact of these forces at work—the illusion of home; the transitory nature of dwelling; the constraints of time and money; the impossible structural demands of a house; the absurdity; and at times the impossibility of trying to make a house a home. In the face of entropy\, we struggle to build infrastructure\, family community\, art. We fail\, and we try again.
