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: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: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:Told By My Mother
DESCRIPTION:In the second chapter of his trilogy on love\, Lebanese choreographer Ali Chahrour draws from his own family history and in torn-up Lebanon to weave a tapestry of poignant stories. \nAt the heart of it\, a mother\, Leila\, clings to her child Abbas\, striving to shield him from the fate of martyrdom. A little further down\, another mother\, Fatmeh\, who never stopped looking for her missing child\, Hassan. These tales\, echoing through time\, form an infinite loop of love and loss. \nWith their stories\, these ordinary heroines breathe life into the tenderness and fierce intensity of maternal love. On stage\, they give birth to heart-rending family portraits\, so striking in the infinite beauty of filial relations. \nAli Chahrour\, actress Hala Omran\, and musicians Ali Hout and Abed Kobeissy (Two or The Dragon) accompany these narratives with music inspired as much by Arab culture as by urban sounds. Through movement\, song\, words and music\, generations converge and fracture\, like the narrow and unfathomable eternal love between a mother and a child. Absolute.

SUMMARY:Animal Farm
DESCRIPTION:It begins with a revolution. A group of downtrodden animals overthrows their owner\, seeking to build a utopian society founded on fairness and equality. However\, cracks soon appear when Napoleon\, a power-hungry and manipulative porker\, rises to leadership\, using propaganda and violence to consolidate control. The animals quickly find themselves at the mercy of totalitarian tyranny\, shackled by the very principles that were meant to set them free. \nBased on George Orwell’s political satire Animal Farm\, this theatrical adaptation by The Finger Players employs stunning puppetry to illustrate themes of brutality\, conflict\, and oppression. Written and directed by award-winning theatre veteran Oliver Chong\, Animal Farm is a play of discordant harmony\, adopting a darker\, wittier\, and more visceral treatment than the novel’s allegorical approach.

SUMMARY:Umbilical
DESCRIPTION:Umbilical explores the social and emotional ripples resulting from division and transformation\, drawing poignant parallels with the looming uncertainty that was experienced by the people who lived through the separation of Singapore from Malaysia in 1965.  \nA dynamic blend of movement\, music\, visual projections and AI integration\, Umbilical is an immersive performance that delves into the intricate layers of identity\, belonging and relationships. Here\, the umbilical cord serves as an evocative metaphor and symbolic bridge between water and land\, people and places\, and past and present.  \nUmbilical invites us to reflect on the evolving nature of personal and collective bonds in an ever-shifting world\, while embracing technology as both a collaborator and a form of resistance. The multi-sensorial performance magnifies the tension between human and machine\, tradition and innovation.

SUMMARY:Sun & Sea
DESCRIPTION:Sun & Sea by Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė Vaiva Grainytė & Lina Lapelytė (LT) is a programme under Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2024. \nSun & Sea takes place on an artificial beach crafted through light architecture and music. Vacationers in colourful bathing suits are lying next to each other on sandy ground while the audience observes them from above as though from the point of view of the sun. \nIn the heat of a summer day characters begin telling their stories. Frivolous micro-stories slowly give rise to broader more serious subjects and grow into a global symphony a universal human choir addressing planetary-scale climate breakdown. In the work the physical finitude and fatigue of the human body becomes a stand-in for an exhausted Earth. \nThe setting a crowded beach instinctively evokes laziness and a breezy holiday mood. In this context the message follows suit: serious topics unfold easily softly-like a pop song on the very last day on Earth. \nAn ecological work at its very core Sun & Sea is concerned with the way in which we-our human species consistently fails to recognise those planetary-scale threats and urgencies we ourselves are the cumulative cause of. \n30 & 31 May 2024\, Thu & Fri\n6PM\, 7PM\, 8PM & 9PM \n1 June 2024\, Sat\n2PM\, 3PM\, 4PM & 5PM \nEsplanade Theatre \n$68

SUMMARY:ANGELA (a strange loop)
DESCRIPTION:ANGELA (a strange loop) by Susanne Kennedy & Markus Selg (DE) is a programme under Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2024. \nANGELA (a strange loop) is a close-up of a woman’s life as she struggles to make sense of her existence. Join her in a thought-provoking journey as she navigates everyday situations: illness and recovery\, waking and sleeping\, giving birth and being born\, ageing and death. ANGELA is made up of millions of experiences\, many of which come from other people’s stories. Ultimately\, she might be nothing but a strange loop\, an endless sequence. The virtual and the real become blurred\, while ANGELA attempts to construct herself and hold it together by repeating her stories. But what happens if we zoom in on ANGELA\, closer and closer\, to understand that self? What is hidden there? \nWith innovative use of technology and a compelling narrative\, ANGELA (a strange loop) takes us on a deep dive into the fundamental questions of existence\, identity\, consciousness and the nature of reality. It is a poetic\, social analysis through the lens of the diseased rather than the healthy. How can a community deal with the individual’s experience of illness? How do we care for each other\, when life comes to an end?

SUMMARY:Una Isla
DESCRIPTION:Una Isla by Agrupación Señor Serrano (ES) is a programme under Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2024. \nDive into an existential dialogue between artificial intelligence and performance. Una Isla questions and blurs the lines between “us” and “others”\, between human and machine\, exploring themes of agency\, identity\, and coexistence in a digital world. Through a fusion of choreography\, live video\, AI-generated music\, and holographic sculptures\, Una Isla prompts contemplation on the complexities of our interactions with AI\, and the ever-elusive quest for meaningful connections in an increasingly automated world. \nIntegrating physical and digital performance languages\, the performers engage in dialogue with artificial intelligences\, allowing them to generate text\, images\, and music. This collaboration is not concerned with showcasing AI’s potentialities\, but rather harnessing them to reinforce the work’s concept and poetics. In a world where the boundaries between human and machine are ever-evolving\, Una Isla invites us to explore the possibilities of imagining new ways of living together.

SUMMARY:Moby Dick
DESCRIPTION:Moby Dick by Plexus Polaire (FR/NO) is a programme under Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2024. \nIt is the image of the ungraspable phantom of life; and this is the key to it all. ― Herman Melville\, Moby Dick \nAn ancient white whale\, a captain steering his ship into destruction and the inner storms of the human heart: Moby Dick is the tale of a whaling expedition\, but also the story of an obsession or an investigation into the unexplained mysteries of life. \nDrawing inspiration from her own family’s seafaring heritage\, director Yngvild Aspeli and award-winning puppet theatre company Plexus Polaire craft a spectacular visual world on stage that brings Herman Melville’s classic tale to life. With a cast of seven actors\, fifty intricately crafted puppets\, live music and immersive video projections\, this sensory feast of a production invites you to journey into the unfathomable depths of the ocean and Man’s perpetual battle with the forces of Nature. \nAgainst a backdrop of maritime history\, you’ll encounter the iconic white whale\, Captain Ahab’s relentless pursuit\, and the complex human emotions that drive Melville’s timeless epic. Miss at your own peril\, this striking theatrical adaptation of Literature’s beast of a book. \n17 May 2024\, Fri\n8PM \n18 May 2024\, Sat\n3PM & 8PM \n\nSingtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade\n\n$98\, $78*\, $58*\, $38\n*Limited concessions available for students\, NSFs and seniors.

SUMMARY:SIFA 2024: The Anatomy of Performance – They Declare
DESCRIPTION:Returning from 17 May to 2 June 2024\, the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2024 presents The Anatomy of Performance – They Declare\, an expression of the multiplicity of voices that the Festival welcomes and celebrates. With Festival Director\, Natalie Hennedige\, setting the direction of the Festival for a third year\, SIFA 2024 calls for audiences to embrace difference and make space for the coexistence of different beliefs and ways of being.  \n  \nSIFA 2024 continues to foster creative intersections\, progressive and original works that demonstrate how performance can be approached as a dynamic arena for artistic innovation and expression\, as well as reflect shifting perspectives today. Festivalgoers can look forward to a diverse line-up ranging from dynamic transnational collaborations\, exciting invited international presentations\, an engaging event that celebrates Singapore’s vibrant theatre scene\, as well as Little SIFA\, an all-new programming pillar dedicated to families and children. Examples of these highlights include:  \n\nMoby Dick by Norwegian director\, actress\, puppet-maker\, and artistic director of Plexus Polaire\, Yngvild Aspeli\, presents a 90-minute live adaptation of Herman Melville’s mythical work about an ancient white whale. Performed by a cast of seven actors\, fifty puppets\, and video projections\, the work employs filmic techniques\, captivating puppetry\, and clever stagecraft to manipulate the audience’s perspective.\nSUARA / Oro Rua by Singapore music artist Safuan Johari and Māori Choreographer Eddie Elliot features original compositions\, choral singers\, and New Zealand dance artists to imagine a post-Anthropocene future.\nSingapore theatre-makers Haresh Sharma and Chong Tze Chien’s The Prose and the Passion is a play where fictional characters from English novelist E. M. Forster’s novels traverse space and time and interact with characters from Sharma’s imagination. \nFirst showcased at the 2019 Venice Biennale\, internationally-acclaimed award-winning experiential opera performance Sun & Sea by Rugilė Barzdžiukaitė\, Vaiva Grainytė\, Lina Lapelytė\, will make its Singapore debut at SIFA 2024. An ecological work at its very core\, the work takes the form of an imitation beach indoors where its lounging performers sing about mundane existence\, worry\, and boredom\, darkly remarking on the Earth’s decline.\nTransforming Stamford Arts Centre into a sandbox of works-in-process\, Tomorrow and tomorrow is an extraordinary opportunity to witness the diverse practices of local theatre groups on a single platform\, opening up vistas for future presentations while unearthing Singapore’s fertile ground for contemporary theatre-making.\nAs part of Little SIFA\, The Dancer’s Fair beckons audiences of all ages to Cathay Green\, where a larger-than-life ballerina and an old-style fair comprising seven fascinating machines await. Catch Leonardo! A Wonderful Show About A Terrible Monster\, where Mo Willems’ books are brought to life with hundreds of illustrated paper puppets\, book pages\, two-dimensional props\, furry monster puppets and songs.\nSIFA’s online presence continues with the light gleams an instant\, a 9-minute experimental short film helmed by film artist Natalie Soh in collaboration with Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum and Yong Siew Toh Conservatory of Music that responds to the museum’s collections of specimens\, exploring the recursive and decaying nature of memory and meaning-making.\n\nSIFA 2024 is commissioned by the National Arts Council and organised by the Arts House Limited.
