WHO are we? What drives our movements and behaviours? Why do we create? These profound questions were at the heart of the curtain-raising weekend of the Singapore International Festival of Arts (Sifa) 2024, where three productions attempted to explore them, with varying degrees of success.
Ready for the weekend? Here's what you can look forward to this week. The European Film Festival returns to The Projector for its 32nd edition with 24 acclaimed films from 23 countries across Europe. From biopics to coming-of-age-dramas, musical comedies, stop-motion animation films and more, you're invited to experience the best of European cinema through these compelling films. Till 31.
For me, the word "ritual" evokes tradition and cycle. And there's plenty that is traditional and cyclical at this year's Singapore International Festival of Arts (Sifa). But with a new festival director, Natalie Hennedige, the programme under the theme "Anatomy Of Performance: Ritual" also embraces questions of the future and the digital space.
