SUMMARY:ANGEL ISLAND
DESCRIPTION:Between 1910 and 1940\, as new immigrants flowed through the immigration station on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay\, Chinese immigrants faced massive discrimination because of America’s earliest racist immigration legislations. This captivating one-act music-theatre performance tells their stories. \nComposed by Huang Ruo\, the music of ANGEL ISLAND is inspired by the Chinese poems carved on the wooden walls of the detention centre on Angel Island\, and the events and stories emerging from the era in which the legislations were passed. Tackling perennial and global issues of xenophobia\, sexism\, and systematic racial and gender discrimination\, ANGEL ISLAND weaves a story of immigration\, discrimination\, and confinement – bringing history into the reality of our current lives. Performed by Del Sol Quartet and Taipei Chamber Singers.

SUMMARY:ABYSS
DESCRIPTION:With soulful and meditative turns\, ABYSS forms an ode to the depths of human emotion. Principles of Korean dance meld with the vocabulary of contemporary movement to form a unique vehicle for expressions of joy\, anger\, sorrow\, and pleasure to mingle. A humble sailing boat becomes a metaphor for the soul\, floating alone on the open\, unpredictable sea of life\, with its winds of upheaval\, crests of joy and storms of powerful sorrow. \nABYSS invites you to experience the spectrum of human feeling: to laugh\, weep and sing along with the dancers\, and to move with the waves of the sea\, to ultimately make space once again to sail in the boat that is inside of you.

SUMMARY:Life Profusion
DESCRIPTION:Life Profusion is SIFA’s virtual platform\, a portal for creation and discovery.  \nThis year\, Life Profusion presents Privacy by MOJOKO\, a series of eight digital works from eight international artists exploring modern concerns of surveillance and personal data; and Prompt: Play curated by Hong Xinyi\, which gathers creative responses to programmes at SIFA 2023.  \nPrivacy https://www.sifa.sg/life-profusion/lp-privacy\nCurated by MOJOKO (@mojokoworld on Instagram & Facebook)\n \nNegotiating between the private and the public is one of the predominant challenges for humanity in the 21st century. Staying connected to our digital identities requires us to pay with our private data\, leaving us vulnerable to breaches of security and trust. When privacy is fast becoming a disappearing luxury\, how do we safeguard our personal rights as people in today’s hyper-connected society? Do we value privacy or take it for granted? What is the impact of shifting boundaries of privacy on the collective mindset? \n\nCurated by MOJOKO\, this series of ten short digital works from ten international artists gathers a diverse array of perspectives exploring the meaning of privacy and the cost of surveillance.  \n\nArtist names & artwork titles \nGot Hacked by CYC (Chong Yan Chuah)  \nMalaysia | @chongyanchuah  \nSecurity Boundaries by DVDP (Davidope) \nHungary | @dvdp  \nPrivate Parts by ABC (Aik Beng Chia) \nSingapore | @aikbengchia \nSilent Listening by Gilang Kusama   \nIndonesia | @gilangkussuma \nSuspicious Patterns by Vince Fraser  \nUK | @vincefraser \nVeil of Secrecy by Sadiq Mansor  \nSingapore | @249.png \nPrivacy Erosion by MOJOKO  \nSingapore | @Mojokoworld \nPersonal Space by Barbarian Flower\nMalaysia | @barbarianflower \n  \nPrompt: Play https://www.sifa.sg/life-profusion/lp-prompt-play\nCurated by Hong Xinyi\nA series of creative responses\, in visuals and text\, to programmes at SIFA 2023.

SUMMARY:WE WILL SLAM YOU WITH OUR WINGS
DESCRIPTION:The future is female – and so is the past\, as depicted by these portraits of girls as unlikely warriors. Together\, they boldly reframe the histories of iconic women through the centuries. \nWE WILL SLAM YOU WITH OUR WINGS is a video and sound installation of seven hanging screens\, representing a series of 19th century imperialistic portraits. An army of young girls aged 8 to 16 each stand in her own frame\, in her own regalia and holding her own stance of power. Joanna Dudley is their mentor\, encouraging the girls to take autonomy over their own voices and to create the world afresh.

SUMMARY:Studio | SIFA X: there is no future in nostalgia
DESCRIPTION:Responding to the rich layers of ambivalence and irony in Arthur Yap’s poem “there is no future in nostalgia\,” the four residents of Centre 42’s Playwright’s Professional Development Residency present dramatized readings of new short plays that reflect on the tensions between technocratic and civic visions of life in Singapore. \nThese four new short plays are presented as double-bill performances over two weekends: \nStudio A (Ahmad Musta’ain and Danial Matin)\, 20 May\, 3pm and 21 May\, 8pm \nThe Best of Us by Ahmad Musta’ain \nThey say you make lifelong friends in NS. For Khai and Taj\, their army bestie was the camp canteen lady\, Juweeta. Now\, in a space beyond living and dying\, these two boys must find their way back to save Kak Ju in her time of crisis. Together the three friends embark on a journey of nostalgia saturated with Beyoncé\, cackles\, and the tragedies of illness\, and perhaps the only person who can save Juweeta is herself. By turns raucous and melancholy\, Ahmad Musta’ain Bin Khamis’s new play is about unlikely army friendships\, queer families\, and the healing power of memory. \nAsymptote by Danial Matin \nA scientist digs up a skull in Antarctica\, an exile reunites with his mother in a morgue\, two trans-national lovers negotiate the future of their relationship\, a pair of Malaysian parents grow apart from their child across the causeway… These are some of the beguiling\, lyrical stories in Danial Matin’s new play about how time acts on the heart. Each tender vignette explores the myriad ways ordinary people wrestle with loss\, and the restless\, unstable nature of home. In the end\, what is left to hold on to? And do we hold on to what is left? \nStudio B (A Yagnya and Rachel Chin)\, 27 May\, 3pm and 28 May\, 8pm \nHelp! Our Dead have Dementia\, and Other Stories by A Yagnya \nQueen Elizabeth has just died\, sparking the sudden appearance of Dada\, who seems to have risen from the dead\, for whom memory- in death – is (was?) (what is time?) a tenuous thing. Devan (who’s about to move out of his childhood home) is suddenly launched into the unreliable mind of his late grandfather. But nothing will stop the old man from narrating from beyond the grave at his grandson\, who’s just trying to Marie Kondo his dead Dada’s life. Hilarious and poignant\, this bold new play by A Yagnya asks: if the world keeps rebuilding itself\, what the hell are the dead going to hold on to? \nWhere the Hantus At? by Rachel Chin \nWhen their dad passes\, sisters Lynette and Leia must decide what to do with his estate: to preserve what is there\, or to sell their house and move on. But they’ve forgotten how much each gets on the other’s nerves\, and as the resentment builds\, an ugly battle of wills ensues. Naturally\, the dead get involved. Rachel Chin’s whacky and hard-hitting new play is about hantus\, family\, love and memory. After all\, they’re the same thing… right?
