DUST – A RECOLLECTION
Dust: A Recollection
By Vertical Submarine
Associate Artistic Directors, TheatreWorks
Adapted from a Hokkien short story by Chien Swee Teng in his 1979 novel Bak Teng (Diced Meat), the enfant terribles of Singapore contemporary art, Vertical Submarine, invoke bittersweet tragedies of home and family with their theatrical debut in Dust: A Recollection.
Fusing dioramas, dramaturgy and installation art, the performance unfolds over decades within a flat. It begins with a bitchy couple who pesters a young man to sell his apartment. We then hear the sounds of demolition and concrete debris falling, and an old man comes to life…
The work features lighting design by Andy Lim (stage “LIVE”), music composed by Joe Ng, and costumes by Anthony Tan; and is performed by an ensemble of bright Singapore actors comprising Nikko Aw, Audrey Luo, Neo Hai Bin, Dominic Ng, Rizman Putra, Jo Tan, Amanda Tee and Ben Yap.
Dust: A Recollection offers an artistic tribute to the living, dead, neglected and forgotten spectral landscapes of modern Singapore.
