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: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:COLONY – A True Colors Project
DESCRIPTION:Diverse dancers from Southeast Asia and Japan create the imagined world of a colony through dance and movement. Each expressing their personal challenges and aspirations beyond their limitations and comfort zones. \nThey live in enforced proximity in an urban tenement\, yet exist as disparate entities distanced by prejudice\, ignorance and fear. \nThey struggle to make connections despite their differences\, while negotiating long-held preconceptions of what it means to be perfect\, complete\, normal\, valuable\, human. \nIn the natural world\, the survival of any colony of organisms depends on its ability to function as a single cohesive collective. Differences\, diversity\, perceived strengths and weaknesses are embraced as necessities – sine qua non – “without which\, not.”\nAnd so too it is with our colony. \nCOLONY – A True Colors Project is the result of an intense collaborative experiment. A blank canvas on which the artistic director\, choreographer\, composer\, film director\, dancers and designers organically paint a narrative in dance\, music and film.\nUnscripted films are seamlessly woven in. They give the audience a peek behind the curtain\, revealing the most sacred element of any artist’s creative journey ­– the rehearsal space.

SUMMARY:stray gods
DESCRIPTION:久唔唱歌忘記歌\n(A long time without singing\, you forget the song) \nHas all my revelry now stung me blind\nWhose now am I\, if here no longer mine\nBut of the whims of winds and ghosts and rivers\nA hundred mouths in breath in width and bigger\nThan life. I lie beside myself\, both quiet\, still wet\nWith shock as two cuts parallel in the same flesh\nPrized cub\, whose limb from limb I cleft\nHis head screams in my hands \nweish presents a new body of work that draws from an ancient text and incorporates the dying songs and language of her heredity. In this SIFA 2025 commission\, she builds upon and looks beyond her signature sonic palette to discover new approaches to storytelling through music.

SUMMARY:PRISM 48
DESCRIPTION:More Than Ever\, we seek dialogue. \nIn 2025\, Singapore marks its 60th year of independence. How has our cultural identity evolved\, and what can we learn from the evolutions of other cultural narratives and strategies? This conversation series reflects on these questions through the lens of SIFA. \nHow do we take the measure of the yawning gulf and uncanny symmetries between a self-perceived cultural desert and a key global node? What is the relationship between festival-making and nation-building? What are the hallmarks and impact of Singapore storytelling? Decades into our post-colonial existence\, how has our relationship with Asia’s traditions changed? How do we master the art of plugging into global circuits\, and what does participation in such circuits mean for art-making in Singapore? What new forms have we invented to make space for difficult conversations? What are the imperatives and challenges of incubating new creative voices in the post-pandemic landscape? \nIn 1977\, the first Singapore Arts Festival kicked off with performances from 77 groups over seven days. In the festival’s 48th year\, these six conversations take stock of how far we have travelled\, and the journey ahead.
