SUMMARY:COLONY – A True Colors Project
DESCRIPTION:Diverse dancers from Southeast Asia and Japan create the imagined world of a colony through dance and movement. Each expressing their personal challenges and aspirations beyond their limitations and comfort zones. \nThey live in enforced proximity in an urban tenement\, yet exist as disparate entities distanced by prejudice\, ignorance and fear. \nThey struggle to make connections despite their differences\, while negotiating long-held preconceptions of what it means to be perfect\, complete\, normal\, valuable\, human. \nIn the natural world\, the survival of any colony of organisms depends on its ability to function as a single cohesive collective. Differences\, diversity\, perceived strengths and weaknesses are embraced as necessities – sine qua non – “without which\, not.”\nAnd so too it is with our colony. \nCOLONY – A True Colors Project is the result of an intense collaborative experiment. A blank canvas on which the artistic director\, choreographer\, composer\, film director\, dancers and designers organically paint a narrative in dance\, music and film.\nUnscripted films are seamlessly woven in. They give the audience a peek behind the curtain\, revealing the most sacred element of any artist’s creative journey ­– the rehearsal space.

SUMMARY:Vampyr
DESCRIPTION:Vampyr is a mockumentary about stubborn shapeshifting creatures—half-dead\, half- alive\, half-animal\, half-human\, half-earth—that refuse to obey the mandate of the nature/culture divide. Living in unregulated wind turbine parks in Chile\, these indeterminate beings exist sometimes as disoriented bats\, and sometimes as exhausted night-shift workers. \nA piece about energy and exhaustion\, work and rest\, Vampyr is a work of delirious black humour about the relationship between the non-humans (read: animals) that inhabit our territories and how we relate to their cultures when we consider humankind’s energetic projections for the future. \nA critical and ironic dialogue is established between the myth of the European vampire and the reality of the Chilean hematophagous bat\, a species that dies in large numbers due to wind turbines. This creation of an imagined mythology of a South American vampire presents a critical perspective on green neo-colonialism\, which perpetuates practices of extraction and appropriation of colonial logic that are greenwashed under the guise of green energy production. \nVampyr is the third part of Chilean playwright and theatre director Manuela Infante’s exploration of the non-human that started with Estado Vegetal and How to Turn to Stone.

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:SIFA 2023: POMPEII
DESCRIPTION:Date: 2 June 2023\, Friday & 3 June 2023\, Saturday\nTime: 8pm\nDate: 4 June Sunday\nTime: 3pm \nDuration: 1hr 30m\, intermission TBC\nVenue: Drama Centre Theatre\nTickets: $38\, $48 \nPOMPEII plays out on a live soundstage\, in which the lives of an imagined apartment building’s inhabitants materialise before us. Trapped in a bomb-shelter\, a narrator tells us the story of an apartment block in which the lives of its residents were anything but – until a catastrophe reduced them to the inanimate\, their lives existing only as object and memory. Exploring the archaeology of intimacy\, POMPEII questions if the objects and spaces that we leave behind in death represent that which we were\, or betray the true nature that we ourselves denied in life.  \nImage courtesy of Joseph Nair

SUMMARY:The Fourth Trimester by Checkpoint Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Following sold-out runs of the critically acclaimed Normal (2015 and 2017)\, playwright Faith Ng and director Claire Wong return with The Fourth Trimester\, a compelling new play that will sweep you into the vivid\, messy embrace of parenthood and family life. \nThe first month is always the roughest. \nExhausted from battling sleepless nights and endless diaper changes\, first-time parents Samantha and Aaron find themselves overwhelmed caring for their newborn. Close friends rally around them in support\, but picture-perfect couple Lisa and Daniel are beginning to feel the strain of family life on their relationship\, while Ann yearns for a space of her own. Next door\, newlyweds Sofia and Johan deal with the pressures of starting a family. Faced with the tangle of life and its hurdles\, ‘adulting’ has never seemed so complicated. \nIncredibly rich\, humorous and compassionate\, The Fourth Trimester is achingly familiar in its portrayal of family life and all its uncertainties. With sensitive\, nuanced direction by Claire Wong and insightful dramaturgy by Huzir Sulaiman\, Faith Ng’s latest work casts a refreshing and timely light on parenthood\, identity\, and what it means to be happy in contemporary Singapore. \nExpect the unexpected in this hopeful and heartfelt ode to the places we call home\, and the people we choose as family. \n(Advisory: Some coarse language and mature themes relating to relationships\, parenthood\, and caregiving)
