| Description |
Commissioned for the opening of Singapour en France - le festival at Palais de Tokyo in Paris in March 2015, Ong Keng Sen creates The Incredible Adventures of Border Crossers, a new performance forged in collaboration with creative talents specialising in design, photography, video and sound. It tells a story of past-present-future through the voices of border crossers. Real-life border crossers who have never acted before are invited to be performers in this piece. Sharing their everyday stories as incredible adventures, they inhabit the installation - singing, dancing, and invoking pioneer travellers who were captured by the Lee Brothers Studio in Singapore, a unique photo salon, in 1910. |
