DESCRIPTION:Accessibility Features\nOpen captions in English for all shows.\nSingapore Sign Language Interpretation for 8pm show on 17 January 2025. \n  \nIt’s a thrill but with a lot to say about mental health and personal reflection and why people with the biggest grins might hide the biggest sadness. \n— Keith Gow\, Theatre First \nScreaming\, overwhelmed and frustrated: I just want to tear out my skin and smash my head against a wall!!! \nIn a society where we are constantly pushed to be more productive\, skilful and self-sufficient\, what does it mean to ‘just be?’.

Life hasn’t been the smoothest for Sheryl\, like for us all. No problemo. \nFollow Sheryl on her quest to become as resilient and as versatile as Seaweed.

SUMMARY:M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2025: Dancing with the Ghost of My Child by Noor Effendy Ibrahim\, Ruby Jayaseelan & NAFA
DESCRIPTION:Accessibility Features\nOpen captions in English for all shows \na unique approach\, rather bold and different \n—Natya Vichara on Purushi by Ruby Jayaseelan \nI know [Effendy’s work] will express a kind of pain and anger acceptable in the performance space\, a pain and anger that is often delegitimised or minimised or considered “inappropriate” elsewhere—and I cherish his work for that reason. \n—Corrie Tan\, Jom Media on ANAK by Very Shy Gurl by fendy \nI myself am an absolute abyss. \n—Antonin Artaud \nIn the beginning\, God created despair\, for men to find hope within. Someone heard someone else say this somewhere before\, sometime back. But no one knows who\, when and where. It must have been God herself who had said this through some men. Only God could be that smart to tease men into such futility. And here\, men find themselves being baited into their own despair. \nConceptualised and directed by Noor Effendy Ibrahim and Ruby Jayaseelan\, Dancing with the Ghost of My Child is an experimental physical theatre performance written by Elvira Foo Jing  Yun\, Gregory Kong Ka-Ee\, Lex (Lee Zhi Qi)\, and Liu Qintong (Amelia) exploring vulnerability\, trauma and the desire to heal. It is devised by students from the BA (Honours) in Performance Making programme at Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. \nCo-presented with Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (a founding member of the University of the Arts Singapore). \nThere will be a dialogue with the artists after each performance\, with speech to text interpretation available upon request for the dialogue on 10 January 2025. Please email your request to info@singaporefringe.com by 6 December 2024.\n \n

SUMMARY:M1 Singapore Fringe Festival presents THOM PAIN (based on nothing) by Edith Podesta\, Yarra Ileto & Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (Australia & Singapore)
DESCRIPTION:“Thom Pain is at bottom a surreal meditation on the empty promises life makes\, the way experience never lives up to the weird and awesome fact of being. But it is also\, in its odd\, bewitching beauty\, an affirmation of life’s worth.” \n—The New York Times \n  \nThom Pain is trying to save his life to save your life\, in that order. \nFilled with biting humour\, desire\, and lost innocence\, the Pulitzer Prize-nominated show THOM PAIN (based on nothing) is one ordinary man’s extraordinary search through the wreckage of his life. \n  \nHailed as “astonishing …a small masterpiece” by The New York Times\, this insightful\, at times surreal\, production catalogues the eternal agonies of the human condition in wit and one last-ditch plea for empathy and enlightenment. \n  \nDirected by Edith Podesta and choreographed by Yarra Ileto\, THOM PAIN (based on nothing) is performed by students from the BA (Hons) in Performance Making programme at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. \n  \nPost-show dialogue on 19 January 2024\, with speech to text interpretation available upon request. Please email your request to info@singaporefringe.com before 15 December 2023.
