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.

SUMMARY:A Thousand Stitches
DESCRIPTION:A vandalised artwork. An enigmatic painter forced to create wartime propaganda. A desperate act of love.  \nAs Emma\, an art conservation student restores a portrait of a Japanese woman\, Mizuki\, she finds herself transported deep into the heart of Syonan-to—Japanese-occupied Singapore. There\, Emma stitches together the lives of Mizuki\, the artist\, Huang Wei and the storms that raged in and around them. \nA Thousand Stitches is a moving story of friendship\, heartbreak and loss told through a blend of performance\, painting and live cinema. A haunting reimagining of a difficult chapter of Singapore’s history\, this presentation explores the transgenerational impact of war and the necessity of hope in the darkest of times.

SUMMARY:LEAR
DESCRIPTION:Man. Father. Fool. \nIn this dark and claustrophobic world\, Lear is the all-powerful patriarch\, but he is also his own fool. Being a fool is one thing. Having power and being a fool is quite another. What happens when the power we hold is taken away? \n“Blow\, winds\, and crack your cheeks! Rage\, blow!” \nThis contemporary re-imagining of Shakespeare’s King Lear will bring together a cast of four with Ramesh Meyyappan’s trademark bold visual storytelling\, exploring universal themes of escalating madness\, loss of power\, betrayal and trust with empathy and a deep understanding of the human condition.

SUMMARY:The House Between The Winds
DESCRIPTION:Experience a talking installation paying homage to the glorious plantations that lined Orchard Road. Witness a magnificent sailboat travelling across the Empress Lawn. Touch\, feel and create as you go on a pilgrimage of memories through whimsical and playful interactive kinetic installations that take you on a journey through time and space.  \nMany were once drawn to a place where the winds crossed\, where the paths connecting East and West met. There\, they traded\, made a living\, and learned—acquiring knowledge that stretched beyond the borders of their homelands. It was also a safe harbour\, as they waited for the monsoon winds to change and carry them onwards to their destinations.  \nSoon\, this place became home\, and they reshaped the land to suit their lives. The nurturing trees fed their new ideas and ways of doing things\, and with their insatiable and unceasing appetites\, the trees made way for a landscape that would be forever changed.

SUMMARY:Vampyr
DESCRIPTION:Vampyr is a mockumentary about stubborn shapeshifting creatures—half-dead\, half- alive\, half-animal\, half-human\, half-earth—that refuse to obey the mandate of the nature/culture divide. Living in unregulated wind turbine parks in Chile\, these indeterminate beings exist sometimes as disoriented bats\, and sometimes as exhausted night-shift workers. \nA piece about energy and exhaustion\, work and rest\, Vampyr is a work of delirious black humour about the relationship between the non-humans (read: animals) that inhabit our territories and how we relate to their cultures when we consider humankind’s energetic projections for the future. \nA critical and ironic dialogue is established between the myth of the European vampire and the reality of the Chilean hematophagous bat\, a species that dies in large numbers due to wind turbines. This creation of an imagined mythology of a South American vampire presents a critical perspective on green neo-colonialism\, which perpetuates practices of extraction and appropriation of colonial logic that are greenwashed under the guise of green energy production. \nVampyr is the third part of Chilean playwright and theatre director Manuela Infante’s exploration of the non-human that started with Estado Vegetal and How to Turn to Stone.
