Godot

Presented by Naga Naga

Devised after a study of Waiting For Godot, an original script written in French in 1948 by Samuel Beckett. You will see the translation of Godot into various symbols, primarily of hope, death, salvation and the divine. Using these symbols, Naga Naga attempts to visualise and evoke Godot in his elements, doing away with the concept of drama, chronological plot, logical language, themes, and recognisable settings. Naga Naga first performed at The Substation's Septfest 1999. For more information, email dhavusya@singnet.com.sg.

With The Reverie String Quartet - Clement LIM (violin), WONG Yeang Chuan (guitar), Tracy CHIA (alto), Nadia TAN (soprano), Dawn WONG (Alto).

"Birdsongs & Other Pieces" is the debut concert of young Singaporean composer and lyricist Marc CHAN Yew Jin. The title piece, a fusion between the classical art song and musical theatre, is a song cycle that celebrates the most enviable aspect of birds - flight. And coincident with that idea is the idea of freedom. Some of the songs are settings of text by various poets, such as Maya Angelou and Alfian Sa'at. The other songs that complete the cycle have original lyrics by Marc. The evening will also see the premiere of instrumental works written in the past year. These include a suite of three pieces for toy piano, a romance for violin and piano, and four nocturnes for guitar.
