  • Absence Makes the Heart
    Centre 42 presents THE VAULT ABSENCE MAKES THE HEART... 28 & 29 OCT 2017 CENTRE 42 BLACK BOX ARTIST’S MESSAGE In April 2016, I organised a roundtable to discuss the issue of ‘Cultural Diversity in Theatre’. One of the issues surfaced was that it seemed increasingly difficult for actors of a minority background to land roles in plays. Casting calls — not just for theatre, but for films, television and commercials — seemed to be one of the few places where one could justify a hiring practice based on race. And invariably, it was either ‘Chinese preferred’ or ‘Pan-Asian preferred’. In May 2017, a controversy erupted when a freelance actor, Shrey Bhagrava, was asked to deliver his line with the direction ‘can you be more Indian’? To many, this was the result of prolonged invisibility and under-representation of Indians in the media, such that what was expected of ‘Indian-ness’ was a superficial caricature. Absence Makes The Heart… is an attempt to engage with issues of representation, especially of the Indian community, in Singapore English-language theatre. The solutions are all in plain sight: to cast one’s net widely, to write more roles specifically for Indian actors, to cast Indian actors in roles where the ethnicity is not essential to the character. What needs to be challenged is this notion that only works that feature characters from the majority will sell. What needs to be challenged is this very idea of ‘selling’ a work. This excerpt of an interview with T. Sasitharan explains it well: Absence makes the heart desperate.

State of the Arts: Government, National Identity, and the Arts in Singapore Abstract In the 1960s, countries in Southeast Asia such as Indonesia and Malaysia were wreaked by ethnic violence. Race riots broke out in Malaysia in 1969 between Chinese and Malays. In 1973 and 1974 anti- Chinese riots and pogroms erupted in Indonesia. Amidst a sea of ethnic unrest, the Singaporean government became aware that the multiethnic nature of Singapore rendered it vulnerable to riots.Memories of the 1964 race riots and the 1950 Maria Hertogh riots were still fresh. The government hoped that the creation of a cohesive national identity would reduce the risk of ethnic and racial violence. In this project I examine the development of national identity in Singapore from 1965-1990 to see how the government and civil society interacted to create a national identity.

  • THE VAULT Desert Ooms Bthel Dawn of Queer Singaporean Theatre
    Centre 42 presents THE VAULT Desert ooms BThel Dawn of Queer Singaporean Theatre 30 NOV & 1 DEC 2019 CENTRE 42 BLACK BOX Artist s Message ’ (Extracted from an interview conducted on 16 Oct 2019) or queer people in Singapore, we Fdon’t have enough of a historical narrative. I think a certain one exists among some queer intellectuals, but it hasn’t been mythologised the way, say, Stonewall has. A myth is any narrative that becomes important to the origins of a community, whether it’s King Arthur, or Gilgamesh or LKY. There is a certain mythologisation of moments, like in the films Tanjong Rhu and Bugis Street. But what I realised as soon as I said I wanted to look at queer theatre from 1985 to 1995, is that this period THE VAULT: DESERT BLOOMS has got a lot in it. We have the redevelopment of Bugis Street. We — THE DAWN OF QUEER have the Marxist Conspiracy. We have Josef Ng. We have the Tanjong SINGAPOREAN THEATRE Rhu and Rascals incidents. PRESENTED BY CENTRE 42 I want to show people that this was an extraordinary time in PLAYWRIGHT/RESEARCHER Singaporean cultural history, where arts, politics and society were NG YI-SHENG undergoing a profound transformation. And queerness is at the DIRECTOR/SET centre of it. TAN SHOU CHEN And I would like there to be a sense of heritage.
