Synopsis:
Vintage Memory, a multimedia dance theatre performance, resembling a museum documentary coming to life with dance and theatre.
In the last decade, Singapore has grown and changed rapidly. Our landscape resembles the adaptability of a chameleon’s skin; with new buildings replacing old ones in a matter of months, new and hip businesses sprouting everywhere while the old traditional trades are slowly disappearing, our tiny patches of leftover forest are being cleared to make way for new development. In a fast changing society like Singapore, it is easy to lose our sense of belonging and cultural identity.
‘Vintage Memory’ ignites a sense of identity and remembrance in our young generation by reconnecting with Singapore’s contemporary history. Deliver in a story-telling dance theatre fashion, Vintage Memory brings audience through a maze of exciting, yet nostalgic time travel into the 70s-90s of Singapore.
A multimedia projection of the 1960s-1990s Singapore, from demolished architectures and landscapes, e.g. old school playground with sand pit and the old Singapore river; to disappearing traditional trades such as the shoe/ key repair makeshift stalls, the kacang puteh (peanut) man in pushcarts; to the interior of an old HDB flat, with retro vintage sofa, and box television set.
The dance theatre also uses props and costumes, such as the old telephones, rock ’n’ roll bell bottom pants and dresses, and choreographed to Singapore soundscape and local song writers’ music from the 60s -90s. e.g. Lian Wen Fu, Naomi and the boys, The Quests, The Crescendos.
Technical: Empty and clean hall stage; 1 PA assistant (lights). Creative Tree will provide sound systems.
