Crossings

Crossings is a multidisciplinary collaboration between artists from Singapore and Croatia investigating the coexistence, understanding and mixing of different cultures. Join them in this performative piece as they question the issues of home, homeland and belonging while exploring multiculturalism, and the similarities and differences between the 2 countries.

The vibrant port cities of Singapore and Croatia's Rijeka will be sources of inspiration and dialogue for the artists, creating a new work which juxtaposes performance with a sound and multimedia landscape. Created over a series of cultural exchanges, workshops and improvisations, Crossings ask fundamental questions that will make us confront who we are and how we can survive in today's global village.
