Ghazal of the Banana Tree’s Heart by Danial Matin
Synopsis
A solitary banana tree remains on the shore, the sole survivor amongst its compatriots, lost to the need for the space they occupied; a lone banana tree that is the last repository of the stories of those shores—of fishermen, turtles and the sea itself. Alone it sings the same refrain—but who listens?
Creative Team
Playwright: Danial Matin Director: Grace Kalaiselvi Actors: Suhaili Safari and Shahid Nasheer
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
