SUMMARY:SIFA 2023: INTERMISSION
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2 June Friday & 3 June Saturday\nTime: 8pm \nDuration: 1h\, no intermission\nVenue: Drama Centre Black Box\nTickets: $38 \nPerformed in Thai with English surtitles \nTraditional Thai music and contemporary dance practice intertwine to examine the body as a political site and the sociopolitical power of dance. \nStuck in the state-enforced past and unable to see the future of his own country\, director Thanapol Virulhakul proposes Thai postmodern dance as a method to navigate Thailand’s socio-political power structure that infiltrates all areas of a citizen’s life. A single dancing body portrays how political power relates to each individual. \nIn collaboration with the Bangkok International Performing Arts Meeting (BIPAM) and George Town Festival (GTF)\, veteran Thai folk musician Champa Saenprom is reunited with the contemporary dancer Vidura Amranand in a mystical postmodern. Dancer Vidura draws on contemporary dance vocabulary and her practice in dance movement psychotherapy\, while Champa uses traditional song to invoke “Kwan”\, the protective guardian spirit of the human soul. Music and dance come together to dig deep and assert the potential of art as resistance against the powers that be. \nA co-production between BIPAM\, SIFA and GTF.  \nImage courtesy of Rueangrith Suntisuk

SUMMARY:CUCKOO
DESCRIPTION:What can a bunch of talkative rice cookers tell us about the past twenty years of Korean history? \nOne day when his electric rice cooker informed him that his meal was ready\, Jaha Koo experienced a deep sense of isolation. ‘Golibmuwon’ (고립무원) is an untranslatable Korean word expressing the feeling of helpless isolation that characterises the lives of many young people in Korea today. At turns sombre and amusing\, CUCKOO is Jaha Koo’s bittersweet reflection on the personal and social impact of economic crises that South Korea has weathered in recent decades. \nCuckoo is part of Jaha Koo’s Hamartia Trilogy. SIFA 2023 presents two works from this trilogy: Lolling and Rolling\, and Cuckoo. Jaha Koo intertwines personal stories with historical\, political and sociological facts\, exploring the clash of Eastern and Western culture: from the cutting of tongue belts to succeed in the West\, to the heavy personal toll of Western interference in global macroeconomics.

SUMMARY:We Are Like This Only 3
DESCRIPTION:“We Are Like This Only 3” is back to explore the real and perceived impressions that Singaporeans\, particularly the Chinese\, have of the ‘New Indians” in our community and vice versa. The comical play takes on a number of racist and xenophobic peeves that have been amplified on social media\, wrestling with real and anecdotal situations with humour and a sense of the ridiculous. These include incidents during the lockdown\, feelings of being crowded out\, locals’ perception of job competition\, stereotyping Indian doctors\, employer-employee relationships\, the perceived arrogance/stand-offishness of new Indians and more. At the end of an entertaining evening at the theatre combined with the possibility that folks will go home a little bit wiser\, accepting that we are all “different but same same”\, a forum theatre style interactive discussion between the audience and the actors will bring out personal observations\, emotions and challenges of integrating in Singapore.  \n“We Are Like This Only 3” directed by Daisy Irani Subaiah and written by Subin Subaiah\, will be performed by the brilliant cast of award winning actors Josephine Tan\, Daisy Irani\, Hang Qian Chou and Subin Subaiah. \n“We Are Like This Only 3” will also feature the designs of 2022’s Life!Theatre award winning Lighting Designer Alberta Wileo\, Set Design by Keng San from On Staging\, and our very own “Tea Party Rap” written by Preetipls (also known as Preeti Nair).

SUMMARY:Checkpoint Theatre presents Brown Boys Don’t Tell Jokes – A New Play by Myle Yan Tan
DESCRIPTION:The eve of an election. A politician\, a musician\, an activist\, an academic\, and a therapist reunite after several years. As the five friends catch up on the different paths their lives have taken\, they realise their rose-tinted memories might be the only thing holding them together. With secrets unravelling\, old conflicts reawakening\, and a threat looming\, the five are forced to confront the boys they once were\, and the men they want to become. \n  \nPlaywright Myle Yan Tay’s powerful and incisive play lays bare the tensions of male friendship with sharp humour and searching questions. As past mistakes lead to dire consequences\, should loyalty prevail over shifting values? What does it take to be a friend? \nHuzir Sulaiman’s deft direction illuminates the finely-crafted text\, interrogating what it means to be a brown boy in Singapore. With a stellar ensemble cast comprising Gosteloa Spancer\, Krish Natarajan\, Ebi Shankara\, Adib Kosnan\, and Shahid Nasheer\, Brown Boys Don’t Tell Jokes is a nuanced and unflinching examination of friendship\, race\, and masculinity in our country.
