Fear & Love
Organised by: ShanghART SingaporePerformed by: Lai Yu Tong, Mark Chua, Lam Li Shuen and Wu Jun Han
Synopsis:
ShanghART Singapore hosts a light and sound performance by artist-musicians Lai Yu Tong, Mark Chua, Lam Li Shuen and Wu Jun Han on the occasion of Lai Yu Tong's first solo exhibition at the gallery, The Dogs.
Inspired by encounters with a pack of stray dogs, Fear & Love explores the nuance of animal-human relationships through storytelling and live image-making. Playing an ensemble of DIY, low-tech light-emitting apparatus and an eclectic mix of sound-emitting instruments, the performers put up a makeshift theatre play, akin to telling stories around a fire.
The production is the first collaboration between the four performers who come from various backgrounds as film-makers, video artists and visual artists but share a common interest in free-improvisation and experimental music, playing separately in bands and solo—Are, Pupa and Cosmologists.
