The Silent Crackers is a performance-led research project examining labour, diaspora, and performative silences amid the rise of global protectionism, with Singapore as a central observation point. The project focuses on migrant workers, gendered experiences, and cross-generational labour, investigating how resurgent conservatism and tightened borders reshape mobility, belonging, and cultural expression. It explores how multilingualism and silence carry social tensions, revealing both the limits and resilience of displaced communities in contemporary Asia. Through interviews, archival research, and intercultural dialogue, Jung translates these dynamics into textual and theatrical experiments.
