Rated ‘Virgin’

The term, ‘Pole Dancing’, often invokes the image of a sex worker exploiting their sexuality. However, Vermillion seeks to move beyond the conventional definition of pole dancing as an unrestrained and erotic style of dancing. By aligning the role of a go-go dancer with that of a contemporary dancer on a theatrical stage, Vermillion proposes a political relationship between performer and audience.

Featuring four solo dance sequences choreographed by Daniel K, it will be an evening sizzling with energy, both artistic and intellectual. Also performing are Cyril Wong, Neo Hong Chin and Bani Haykel.

This production is supported by The Substation, Singapore.

How Did The Cat Get So Fat
Teater Ekamatra (Singapore)
Feb, 8pm
$18 (Standard)
www.ekamatra.org.sg

Performed in Malay with English subtitles

Written and directed by Zizi Azah Bte. Abdul Majid, How Did the Cat Get So Fat? is a fable/parable told through the eyes of Fatimah, a nine-year-old with a single parent family, performed by Siti Khalijah Zainal. Fatimah travels on a kiddie ride with a lion she has named Mr Minismen and meets people who are representative sections of Singapore society, e.g. the maid, the prosperous wife, the religious man, the taxi driver, the tireless yuppie.

How Did the Cat Get So Fat? seeks to examine how the national pledge applies to and manifests itself in various strata of Singapore society, seen through the eyes of a young girl.

Tomoko Takahashi (Japan)

8 Feb - 11 Feb
Singapore Art Museum
(Queen Gallery, 2nd Storey)
Admission is free

Rated ‘Virgin’

Takashi’s works explore and express “dislocation” from reality, in a series of movements. This dislocation is deeply entrenched in modern Japanese culture, where people, “who are too afraid of getting hurt”, retreat into virtual reality - a make-belief world of their own. In this personal hinterland, the notion of commitment is erased and relationships coalesce and evaporate as the person wills it.

A man and a woman re-visit personal history and vacillate between fact, fiction and coloured memory. This journey unearths an astonishing secret that would forever alter their lives. A restaging of The Necessary Stage’s recent success, the play takes an unflinching look at the personal and emotional issues surrounding paedophilia, with neither judgment nor blame.
