Asian Festivals Exchange (AFX) returns as Co.Lab.Asians, where dance artists from different countries and backgrounds, including those from Asia, join hands to create original new dance works – in just under six weeks. A marathon exercise of creativity, communication and ingenuity, these artistic collaborations often breed unexpected, unique performances that span cultures.
We’re going green! There will be a limited number of
printed booklets at the front of house.
Thank you for going green with us!

Hanging in the Balance - Behind the Scenes
In a duet performance, Lee Ren Xin and Miwa Okuno reunite from their 2014 AFX collaboration to delve into the different conscious states of the forgotten body to find its voice in today’s disembodied way of life.
How would an angular stone roll? This quirky work, Rolling Stone by Ji Kyungmin uses speed and music to take “rolling” to a whole new level. Together with dancers from T.H.E Second Company, Ji leaves no stone unturned as he embarks on a mind-boggling journey of getting sharp-cornered “human stones” to roll as smoothly as soccer balls.
Exploring the human condition, Isabella Giustina and T.H.E Second Company present Hanging in the Balance. In a world where we often endeavour to hide our insecurities and fears amidst our convictions, could there be a superhuman power behind our fragility?
