iNCH x Tan Lixin

Singer-songwriter iNCH and poet Tan Lixin join hands to tell the stories of the voiceless. In this collaboration, music meets storytelling to shine a light on social issues such as domestic abuse and marginalisation.

Weaving original stories by Tan Lixin with songs and sound design by iNCH, this intimate and imaginative performance depicts characters we may be familiar with but almost never dwell on. By bringing their narratives to life, the two works that make up this multidisciplinary effort also seek to articulate unspoken thoughts and amplify the voices of those who often go unheard in our community.

Performed and filmed live at Esplanade Concourse on 24 Mar 2020, this event was part of the line-up for Foreword, the arts centre’s free programme for March where stories and literary texts–spoken, narrated, musically interpreted–take centre stage.
