Embark on a thought-provoking journey through "The Death of Singapore Theatre as Scripted by the Infocomm Media Development Authority of Singapore." This innovative performance-lecture, penned by the acclaimed playwright Alfian Sa’at and brought to life by director Irfan Kasban with Farah Ong in a starring role, delves into the complex history of theatre regulation in Singapore.

From the nuances of colonial legacies to contemporary debates, this work sheds light on the intricate dance between creativity and control, capturing the essence of moral panics, culture wars, and the political landscape that have sculpted the nation's censorship practices. Alfian Sa’at's script, rich with firsthand insights and dark humor, reimagines the usually unseen encounter between the artist and the censor as a moment filled with tension and unexpected intimacy.

Originally performed as part of the Substation's SeptFest arts festival in 2022, this piece not only recounts historical facts but also invites the audience into a deeper dialogue about the role of art in society and the impact of regulatory oversight on creative freedom.

Join a memorable evening that promises to challenge perceptions and spark conversation about the future of theatre and artistic expression in Singapore.
