SINGAPORE – Forget your history textbook – a brand new theatrical projection will make 700 years of Singapore’s history come to life in six minutes.
Written by Singaporean playwright Zizi Majid and illustrated by Muhammad Izdi and Jeremie Bellot of multimedia agency AV Extended), 700 Years attempts to find a Singaporean equivalent of Black Panther’s Afrofuturist cultural aesthetic that blends science fiction and history. This year’s Singapore Night Festival will feature three festival villages, including one at Chijmes, where three projection mappings will be played on a loop. ST PHOTO: SHINTARO TAY
Zizi, 42, who is working with projection mapping for the first time, says: “Fundamentally as a playwright, I’m driven by character, and so in this project, it was about how I could have characters that are interesting enough to push a story that would also be arresting in terms of visual story beats.”
