Helmed by Brian Gothong Tan, the first experiment in the Decimal Points series is 4.44. Intertwining performance art and cinema, and performed by Jo Kukuthas, Lim Kay Siu, Neo Swee Lin and Karen Tan, the existence of 4 individuals is pushed into hyper real levels through a series of live and filmic vignettes, blurring the lines of illusion and reality. Inspired by a range of television and film genres, and live performance styles, 4.44 sets life against a backdrop of dying ideals.

About Decimal Points

Presented by Cake Theatrical Productions in partnership with The Substation, Decimal Points is a series of art experiments that fuel artistic creation through process and exploration. Over the course of two years, four artistic experiments are made, each helmed by an individual artist – Brian Gothong Tan, David Lee, Philip Tan and Rizman Putra. Each artist is encouraged to create from a personal place, finding entry points via the varying disciplines of film, fashion, visual art, sound and performance art. In the third year, and in collaboration with all four artists, Natalie Hennedige brings forth a new work inspired and enriched by a two-year span of research, exploration and creation.

About Cake Theatrical Productions

Helmed by Artistic Director Natalie Hennedige, Cake Theatrical Productions (Cake) is a contemporary theatre company committed to creating original works that marry bold experimentation with the traditions of theatrical convention. Cake is founded on the belief that theatre is an indispensable, vital mode of artistic expression that has the power to effect change, empower, question and make sense of life in our modern and complex world.

Cake’s mission is to create highly theatrical original works that speak powerfully, connect viscerally and address with bold honesty modern day concerns and complexities.

Cake is committed to the discovery of new forms, vocabularies and methods of theatrical expression as a means of asking pertinent questions about the world we live in, and reflecting on differing positions and perspectives. Infusing compelling text, visual style, sound architecture and physical composition, each work offers a unique multi-layered experience.
