The 2025 version will come forth at SIFA Pavilion at Bedok Town Square, a great milieu indeed shaped for nothing less than stimulative partnership, co-creation and congregation of arts performance.

The year 2025 is all the more special, as it comes with an elite works drawn by the international artists with performances and undertones supported by the thumping individual voices.

  • HOME – A perfect story-telling emanating from the faint imagination of Geoff Sobelle. The story travels through persistent flux of time in the background of scintillating choreography and ethereal music.  The typical illusion orchestrated in the drama showcases the usual instances in a household that eventually transforms a HOUSE to a balanced HOME.   
  • Love in Told by My Mother - One of its kind sophisticated trilogies brought into the life by Lebanese dancer and choreographer Ali Chahrour. The trilogy is inspired from the family structure with broken rubric in the turbulent Lebanon.  Along with the portrayal of dance performances by Hala Omra, and blending of Arabian Song and Music, the trilogy presents a superb blow to the imagination.  Basically, Love in Told by My Mother invokes complexities of the subtle love that persist between mother and the child. 
  • Vampyr – The scintillating mockumentary is an ideal blend of humor, mockery and presents forth commentary devised around the concerns dogmatic concerns hovering around the energy, environment and the intense labor. The perfect work of playwright from Chile, Manuela Infante has set up the entire plot in wind turbine parks, trying to make a relationship between the European Myths and the Hematophagous Bats through representations made by transformative creatures equitable to Half Human and the Half Animals. 

Verdict

Experience the art of storytelling unlike anywhere Else than the SIFA. Let the melodrama of music, arts and everything else begins to seep inside you, and the immersion on the whole becomes offbeat and outstanding.
