The Singapore International Festival of Arts has been the premier event in the local performing arts scene since it debuted in 1977 and more than ever, the emphasis on cross-disciplinary works is heavily palpable. The current edition is titled The Anatomy of Performance – Some People, with theatre practitioner Natalie Hennedige returning as festival director for a second year.
This year’s edition was designed to delve into the spectrum of the human experience with works that encompass those who “grieve, transform, remember, dominate, disappear, feel, prevail, linger, shimmer, observe, reclaim, endure, dare, and transcend”.
With the festival determined to be a cutting-edge catalyst for creative intersections between international and local artists, the line-up is wide-ranging and spans many disciplines, including a burlesque-meets-rope performance titled Love Divine that’s staged at, of all places, Ce La Vi, featuring artists SUKKI (formerly Sukki Singapora) and Daniel Kok & Luke George, as well as a series of animated digital works by artist Mojoko (pictured) that relate to privacy in the digital sphere – extremely relevant to most people today.
