SUMMARY:Raga 2024: MAAS
DESCRIPTION:Jyoti Dogra’s MAAS is a witty and humorous exploration of aging\, beauty standards and body image in an era where society is obsessed with the often-unrealistic standards set by health gurus and social media influencers. In a world where natural bodily changes are commonly frowned upon\, this piece challenges those ideas by examining and critiquing the body of the performer. \nThe piece then deftly evolves into a deeper investigation of shame and its subtle\, pervasive impact on how we view ourselves and interact with the world. MAAS ultimately is a poignant and provocative examination of how we see ourselves and others in a world fixated on perfection. \nTickets & Prices: \nStandard – $35\nConcession – $28 (Students\, NSFs\, Seniors & PWDs) \nPurchase tickets from the official site. \nAdditional Notes\n\nAssistive Listening Available\nAdvisory 16: Mature Theme and Coarse Language\nAdmission Age: 16 and above.\nLanguage: English\, with some Hindi\nSurtitle Language: English\nThere will be a post-show dialogue after each performance.

SUMMARY:Samsara – A Cine-Concert
DESCRIPTION:What is one willing to give up to fulfil their insatiable desires? \n  \nFollowing the internationally acclaimed Setan Jawa—which premiered in 2017 to a sold-out crowd at Esplanade—respected Indonesian director Garin Nugroho returns for the world premiere of Samsara\, a stunning cinematic experience that marries film with live music. \n  \nSamsara follows the story a man from an impoverished family who is rejected by the wealthy parents of the woman he loves. He strikes a bargain with the Monkey King\, performing a dark ritual to gain wealth but in the process\, curses his wife and child into suffering.  Rooted in Indonesian mysticism\, this is a universal narrative about the insatiable hunger to be what one is not\, and the boundaries one is prepared to breach to realise this. \n  \nLike its predecessor Setan Jawa\, Samsara is a “cine-concert” that draws from German black-and-white films from the 1920s as well as wayang kulit (traditional Indonesian shadow puppetry). While the former featured an evocative silent film accompanied by live gamelan music and a Western classical orchestra\, Samsara forgoes the orchestra for vibrant\, live electronic music. The production marries this electronic soundscape with traditional Balinese performance elements like the gamelan orchestra\, traditional dance\, masks and wayang kulit. The film and live performance stars two Asia-Pacific luminaries of the stage and screen\, Indonesian film actor Ario Bayu and Indonesian-Australian dancer Juliet Widyasari Burnett. \n  \nUnder the bold visionary eye of Garin Nugroho and the exceptional work of a powerhouse creative team\, Samsara promises to be a bold and memorable cinematic experience\, seamlessly bringing together the art forms\, nuances\, and traditions of Indonesia’s past and present. \n  \nProduction Credits\nLead Actors: Ario Bayu & Juliet Widyasari Burnett\nSupporting Actors: Gus Bang Sada\, Valentine Payen-Wicaksono\, Siko Setyanto\, I Wayan Wira Kusuma\, Aryani Willems & Cok Sawitri \n  \nDirector: Garin Nugroho\nMusic Composer: Wayan Sudirana & Gabber Modus Operandi\nMusicians: Gabber Modus Operandi & Gamelan Yuganada \n  \nA commission by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay\nProduced by Cineria Films\, Garin Workshop & Lynx Films\nWith the support of Ministry of Culture\, Research and Technology Republic of Indonesia and Yayasan Puri Kauhan Ubud \n  \nProducer: Gita Fara & Aldo Swastia\nExecutive Producer: Ario Bayu & Rob O’Hare\nSupervising Producer: Jala Adolphus\nChoreographer: Ida Ayu Wayan Arya Satyani\nCinematographer: Batara Goempar\nCostume Designer: Retno Ratih Damayanti\nProduction Designer: Vida Sylvia\nStage Designer: Iskandar Loedin\nSound Recordist and Designer: Trisno\nEditor: Beck\nCo-producers: Rai Pendet\, Batara Goempar\nLine Producer: Ineke Bajalaras

SUMMARY:Mali Bucha: Dance Offering by Kornkarn Rungsawang (Thailand)
DESCRIPTION:Cross material and virtual worlds with up-and-coming choreographer Kornkarn Rungsawang in this ritual-inspired performance that combines dance\, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Rum Kea Bon is an ancient ritual performed at shrines and temples in Thailand where dance is used as a tool for negotiation by humans towards higher beings in a bid to make wishes come true. The charming dancer\, hired as a messenger to access higher beings\, enhances the likelihood of one’s wish fulfilment. \nInspired by this ritual\, Kornkarn created Mali Bucha: Dance Offering\, a hybrid constellation of augmented reality\, virtual reality and dance. This immersive and participatory iteration of Rum Kea Bon crosses between physical and immaterial worlds\, with a digital shrine accessible through AR and VR throughout the duration of the performance. Audience members will be able to view\, make wishes and offer flowers to the digital shrine\, with VR headsets present on site for audiences. \nKornkarn thus acts as an interface between the material plane (the real-time audience) and the digital realm (the virtual shrine)\, communicating individual wishes and thanksgiving to higher beings through dance. Flowing as a current throughout Mali Bucha is a belief system that concerns itself with duality—economics and ecology\, image and sound\, old and new\, the mundane and the transcendent. \nThis performance marks the full-length premiere of Mali Bucha: Dance Offering\, after being workshopped at various leading platforms in Asia and Europe\, such as Dance Nucleus in Singapore\, Kinosaki International Arts Centre in Japan\, and Tanz Kongress in Germany. As a dancer\, Kornkarn has spent years performing with the renowned Pichet Klunchun and training in both classical and contemporary dance forms. Now as a dancemaker to watch\, she continues to bridge the traditional and contemporary\, reflecting modern cultural impulses of this generation. \nMali Bucha: Dance Offering is commissioned by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. \nThis production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Connect Asia Now (CAN)\, a weekend that spotlights contemporary dance works by Asian artists focusing on distinct voices and creative impulses from the region.

SUMMARY:Lapse by Melati Suryodarmo (Indonesia)
DESCRIPTION:Known for her bold\, durational solo performances\, acclaimed Indonesian visual and performance artist Melati Suryodarmo premieres Lapse\, a new dance creation performed by collaborators from Indonesia\, Taiwan and Singapore. \nFirst released as two short films\, this iteration marks the live performance premiere of Lapse. Here\, Suryodarmo dives into the metamorphic constellation of body and environment through evocative\, visceral imagery suspended in factual absurdity. With sound design and live music by Yuen Chee Wai from Singapore music collective The Observatory\, Suryodarmo orchestrates movement patterns that steer the group of performers to connect by failures while collectively attempting a new structure and alchemy of senses. \nDrawing inspiration from by-products of chaos and situations that represent a gradual decline in the efficiency\, stability\, and overall functioning of society\, Lapse signifies a transition from a state of order and coherence to one of disorder and confusion. Within this deep-rooted turbulence\, Suryodarmo points to the symptomatic nature of systemic breakdowns\, ethical decline and societal disillusionment of our time. While lapses in society begin to manifest through the decay of behaviour\, diminishing social cohesion\, ruptured institutions and the disintegration of moral frameworks\, the work investigates the unpredictable space between reality and a vision of collective commitment towards change. \nLapse by Melati Suryodarmo is commissioned by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. \nThis production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Connect Asia Now (CAN)\, a weekend that spotlights contemporary dance works by Asian artists focusing on distinct voices and creative impulses from the region.

SUMMARY:Mari Kita Main Wayang
DESCRIPTION:Hijinks and humour abound in Mari Kita Main Wayang (Let’s Stage A Play)! \nThis play-within-a-play follows a group of Peranakans who come together to stage Empat Bini\, an ambitious script that is set within the illustrious walls of a royal court. However\, all is not as it seems—as the play unfolds\, a gripping narrative of power gone awry among the players comes to light. \nPresented in Baba Melayu and peppered with familiar expressions\, Mari Kita Main Wayang is a love letter to the rich Peranakan cultural heritage deeply rooted in Singapore. It pays homage to the under-appreciated art form of Peranakan theatre\, while highlighting the significance of having this heritage represented on stage. Witness the revival of this tradition and be transported to a bygone era where the past meets the present. \nFirst staged in 1994\, this adaptation of Felix Chia’s script is comedic\, unique and utterly captivating—look forward to witty banter\, dramatic storytelling and masterful performances by the cast!

SUMMARY:Lapse by Melati Suryodarmo (Indonesia)
DESCRIPTION:Known for her bold\, durational solo performances\, acclaimed Indonesian visual and performance artist Melati Suryodarmo premieres Lapse\, a new dance creation performed by collaborators from Indonesia\, Taiwan and Singapore. \nFirst released as two short films\, this iteration marks the live performance premiere of Lapse. Here\, Suryodarmo dives into the metamorphic constellation of body and environment through evocative\, visceral imagery suspended in factual absurdity. With sound design and live music by Yuen Chee Wai from Singapore music collective The Observatory\, Suryodarmo orchestrates movement patterns that steer the group of performers to connect by failures while collectively attempting a new structure and alchemy of senses. \nDrawing inspiration from by-products of chaos and situations that represent a gradual decline in the efficiency\, stability\, and overall functioning of society\, Lapse signifies a transition from a state of order and coherence to one of disorder and confusion. Within this deep-rooted turbulence\, Suryodarmo points to the symptomatic nature of systemic breakdowns\, ethical decline and societal disillusionment of our time. While lapses in society begin to manifest through the decay of behaviour\, diminishing social cohesion\, ruptured institutions and the disintegration of moral frameworks\, the work investigates the unpredictable space between reality and a vision of collective commitment towards change. \nLapse by Melati Suryodarmo is commissioned by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. \nThis production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Connect Asia Now (CAN)\, a weekend that spotlights contemporary dance works by Asian artists focusing on distinct voices and creative impulses from the region.

SUMMARY:Mali Bucha: Dance Offering by Kornkarn Rungsawang (Thailand)
DESCRIPTION:Cross material and virtual worlds with up-and-coming choreographer Kornkarn Rungsawang in this ritual-inspired performance that combines dance\, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). Rum Kea Bon is an ancient ritual performed at shrines and temples in Thailand where dance is used as a tool for negotiation by humans towards higher beings in a bid to make wishes come true. The charming dancer\, hired as a messenger to access higher beings\, enhances the likelihood of one’s wish fulfilment. \nInspired by this ritual\, Kornkarn created Mali Bucha: Dance Offering\, a hybrid constellation of augmented reality\, virtual reality and dance. This immersive and participatory iteration of Rum Kea Bon crosses between physical and immaterial worlds\, with a digital shrine accessible through AR and VR throughout the duration of the performance. Audience members will be able to view\, make wishes and offer flowers to the digital shrine\, with VR headsets present on site for audiences. \nKornkarn thus acts as an interface between the material plane (the real-time audience) and the digital realm (the virtual shrine)\, communicating individual wishes and thanksgiving to higher beings through dance. Flowing as a current throughout Mali Bucha is a belief system that concerns itself with duality—economics and ecology\, image and sound\, old and new\, the mundane and the transcendent. \nThis performance marks the full-length premiere of Mali Bucha: Dance Offering\, after being workshopped at various leading platforms in Asia and Europe\, such as Dance Nucleus in Singapore\, Kinosaki International Arts Centre in Japan\, and Tanz Kongress in Germany. As a dancer\, Kornkarn has spent years performing with the renowned Pichet Klunchun and training in both classical and contemporary dance forms. Now as a dancemaker to watch\, she continues to bridge the traditional and contemporary\, reflecting modern cultural impulses of this generation. \nMali Bucha: Dance Offering is commissioned by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay. \nThis production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Connect Asia Now (CAN)\, a weekend that spotlights contemporary dance works by Asian artists focusing on distinct voices and creative impulses from the region.

SUMMARY:Raga 2023: ABHIPSAA – A Seeking
DESCRIPTION:Photo credit to Arun Kumar \n“A performer of exquisite grace and technique.” – The New Yorker \n“[Satpathy] may be five-foot-two\, but she dances like a giant.” Marina Harss\, Dance Magazine \nMesmerising and immersive\, ABHIPSAA – A Seeking charts a personal journey of discovery in physical\, emotional\, and spiritual realms. In four choreographic works\, revered dance doyen Bijayini Satpathy expands the parameters of the formal and representational norms of the odissi tradition through both narrative and non-narrative dances\, reimagining classical odissi forms through her own interpretation. \n  \nThis work was first premiered in Dec 2021 across two sold-out two evenings at Duke Performances. This critical success\, a dramatic exploration and reshaping of an ancient tradition\, catapulted Satpathy to the forefront of the field. After decades of performance and study\, Satpathy calls upon deep kinetic and emotional insights to evolve a revered cultural art form into an entirely modern expression. \nThis work was made possible with additional funding from the New England Foundation for the Arts’ National Dance Project\, with lead funding from the Doris Duke Foundation and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. This presentation at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay marks its Asian debut. \n  \nConsidered one of the foremost masters of odissi in the world\, Bijayini Satpathy has enjoyed a vast career as principal dancer\, master teacher\, and respected scholar.  Renowned the world over for her grace\, Satpathy embodies the spirit and profound storytelling of classical Indian dance in a way few others have achieved. \nSatpathy has been hailed by the likes of New Yorker\, Dance Magazine and international press around the world for her unparalleled artistic expression. Her passion for odissi was instilled at age seven with teachers at Orissa Dance Academy. She is one of the most recognisable names in Indian dance today in large part due to her 25-year career with the famed Nrityagram Dance Ensemble.  She studied and perfected odissi with Nrityagram as performer and principal dancer from 1993 to 2018. \n  \nIn 2021\, she was commissioned by Duke University and the Baryshnikov Arts Center for her solo presentation\, ABHIPSAA – a seeking\, which premiered in New York across two sold out evenings at the Baryshnikov Arts Center\, and is currently being toured around the world. She was the Artist-in-Residence with the Metropolitan Museum of Art for the 2021-22 season. \nWebsite: https://www.bijayinisatpathy.com/\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bijayinisatpathy/\nFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063693040832

SUMMARY:Revisor by Kidd Pivot
DESCRIPTION:Witness a captivating hybrid of contemporary dance and theatre in this spectacular production by award-winning collaborators Crystal Pite and Jonathon Young. \nIn Revisor\, Pite and Young take on an archetypal comic plot inspired by a bizarre theatrical interpretation of Nikolai Gogol’s novel\, The Government Inspector. Driven by characters of mixed motives\, the narrative satirises the absurdity of power and bureaucracy. With the exceptional dancers from Kidd Pivot embodying the recorded dialogue of some of Canada’s finest actors\, the work explores conflict\, comedy and corruption in the compelling relationship between language and the body. \nRevisor was named best new dance production by the Olivier Awards in 2022 and now arrives in Singapore for its Asian premiere. \nThis production is presented as part of da:ns focus – Body Language\, a weekend of programmes that examines the interplay between dance\, the body\, text and speech.

SUMMARY:TRIP 2023: No Particular Order
DESCRIPTION:A despot has come to power. The population is anxious\, submissive and scared. \n  \nBut beneath every violation of civil liberty\, there are real human beings; behind every act of resistance\, there is an individual willing to risk everything. And these people aren’t heroic or remarkable – they’re just like us. \n  \nThrough a series of vignettes involving the lives of bureaucrats\, soldiers\, artists and tour guides\, No Particular Order charts the fate of a society in turmoil to ask at every step of the way: is it empathy\, or power\, that endures? \n  \nJoel Tan’s No Particular Order  first debuted in May 2022 at London’s Theatre503. Described as “startling and apocalyptic”\, the play was shortlisted for the Theatre503 International Playwriting Award as well as the 2022 George Devine Award. This performance marks its Singapore premiere. \n  \nA programme of TRIP—a platform to showcase work by early-career directors. \n  \nDirector: Sim Yan Ying “YY” \nPlaywright: Joel Tan \nPerformers: Arielle Jasmine Van Zuijlen\, Karen Tan\, Pavan J Singh and Shrey Bhargava \nLighting Designer: James Tan \nSound Designer: Lee Yew Jin (Ctrl Fre@k) \nSet Designer: Hella Chan \nProduction Manager: Evelyn Chia (The Backstage Affair) \nStage Manager: Carolene Ruth Liew (The Backstage Affair) \nAssistant Stage Manager: Irish Alcantara (The Backstage Affair)

SUMMARY:A Cappella Gala
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the 10th edition of Voices – A Festival of Song\, this specially produced A Cappella Gala brings together three unique and outstandingly talented vocal bands. Each known for their signature styles\, Singapore favourites 1023 and MICappella\, will be joined by top Filipino a cappella band\, Acapellago. \n  \nLook forward to an evening of familiar pop\, Mandopop and Singaporean songs\, as well as some jazz standards that celebrate Singapore’s musical and cultural diversity with 1023. A special treat will include their international premiere of Mambo Jambo Medley—a cheeky tribute to the uniquely Singaporean clubbing phenomenon of the same name\, made popular in the late ‘90s and early 2000’s. MICappella will perform their signature song One Night in Beijing and their original 我的Party Time. Not to be missed either is Acapellago’s Queen of the Night and Burlesque. \n  \nNo matter your jam—childhood folk songs you can sing along with or toe-tapping classics that you know the dance moves to\, this concert will have something for audiences of all ages to enjoy.
