We hope that the piece will draw attention to the little performances in the everyday that often illuminate the human spirit and its complexities. An array of character masks have been hand-crafted by the actors themselves.
This masked theatre piece will be performed by an ensemble cast undergone training with Christina Sergeant, Peter Sau and Syv Bruzeau in Commedia Dell’arte, Noh, and Butoh respectively.

The Substation Gallery
Admission: Free
The Artists Village Presents is an exhibition that revolves around the idea of earlier society and the appropriation of the works of the founding members of The Artists Village by the current members, as a tribute and a celebration of the 70th birthday of the founder Tang Da Wu this year.
Reflecting on current situations where the direction and focus of art have led to commercially-driven agendas or art as one of the usual key performance indicators, The Artists Village Presents is based on the beliefs stated in our manifesto, “The Artists Village is dedicated to the promotion and encouragement of experimental and alternative arts in Singapore. It endeavors to establish an open space for artists to mature at their own pace, and to provide an environment conducive for artists to experiment, experience and exchange ideas.”
The exhibition seeks to reinstate the society’s position towards looking at contemporary art, critically re-looking and examining existing assumptions, values and concepts of art making in Singapore”, and returning to the notion on how The Artists Village was started – To make art with a heart.
The Substation will be closed on Wednesday 1 May 2013 for the Labour Day public holiday. We reopen on Thursday 2 May 2013.

The diversity of the Singapore-based artists involved in Panoramic Imprint makes the scope of the exhibition appropriately panoramic in itself.
