SUMMARY:The Vault: The TRUE Awards
DESCRIPTION:The Vault: The TRUE Awards comprises a performance-response and a reading of excerpts from the original text. \nFirst staged sixty years ago in 1964\, Lim Chor Pee’s A White Rose at Midnight centres around disillusioned English-educated scholar Lee Hua Min\, and his tumultous relationship with his flatmate Wong’s sister\, the Chinese-educated ex-nightclub singer Ching Mei. Written and staged in the uncertain\, volatile years pre-independence\, A White Rose at Midnight was a humorous\, witty and prescient portrait of both a soul and a nation divided. \nA White Rose at Midnight was first performed by the Experimental Theatre Club at the Cultural Centre Theatre in National University of Singapore\, and received a partial dramatised reading in 2014 as part of Centre 42’s lecture-performance\, The Vault 1.1 – Nineteen Sixty-Four. \nThis year\, seven students from the National University of Singapore’s Theatre & Performance Studies TS3103 Theatre Lab will present a fully-staged response to A White Rose at Midnight. In accompaniment to this performance-response\, excerpts of the original text will be read by selected alumni of the Theatre & Performance Studies programme. \n*** \nJoin us to experience this performance-response and celebrate the nominees of The TRUE Awards.

SUMMARY:The Vault: Past Perfect
DESCRIPTION:The Vault: Past Perfect returns after its first run under the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) in May 2023. This time\, expect more tidbits and artefacts from the 90s – a decade of growth and experimentation in Singapore theatre\, and expanded scenes! \n3 actors gather and they reflect on their journey through Theatre in the 1990s. With 20/20 hindsight\, what did it mean to DO theatre in the 1990s? Why did they do what they do and more importantly\, how? Without any rose-tinted glass\, no misty water-coloured memories\, these actors share their thoughts and ruminations – is the past really so perfect? \nConceptualised by Robin Loon and Casey Lim\, and co-created with Nelson Chia\, Oniatta Effendi and Serene Chen\, The Vault: Past Perfect is a performance of pieces that draw on the personal archive\, reflecting on the energy and legacy of Singapore theatre-making in the 1990s.

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?

SUMMARY:Residency Sharing: Playwrights and their F*ck You Plays
DESCRIPTION:Join our resident playwrights in a sharing from their exploration of plays that say “F*CK YOU” to systems\, conventions and injustice.\n \nThe four residents of Centre 42’s Playwright’s Professional Development Residency have spent the past six months reading and discussing plays that turn back the gaze\, plays that dream about systems unraveling\, plays that ask hard and pungent questions\, plays that stare fear and proscription in the face. In short\, they’ve been reading plays that say “F*CK YOU” in some form or another and turning these provocations and insights on their own practices. \nThis evening will be an intimate sharing of their discoveries\, uncertainties\, and ambitions for the future. Come listen to what they’ve got to share and stay for a casual chat with the artists at the end.
