Fragments of a Singaporean Hainanese by Wang Liansheng

Synopsis

At the opening of a new exhibition on the Hainanese community in Singapore, memories are excavated through the stories of three Hainanese immigrants of different generations, their connections to an island they left for another, and the sea that connects them.

Creative Team

Playwright: Wang Liansheng Director: Lim Shien Hian Actors: Jalyn Han, Hang Qian Chou, Rino Junior John and Mitchell Fang

About the Programme

True/South is a response to the Tanjong Pagar Distripark, a point of entry for many of the migrant flows in this island’s history, inviting us to think about how Singapore is linked to other places and the ports of call- concrete and mythological.

Commissioned by Centre 42 and Singapore Art Museum
