Synopsis

Catch this original three-act dance performance that brings together diverse dancers and the cultures of Singapore, Cambodia and Indonesia in an evocative intersection of traditional, contemporary and street dance.

 

The krama, a versatile Cambodian scarf and cultural symbol, takes centrestage. Grounded in Robam Krama, a traditional folk dance that showcases the versatility of the krama by depicting daily life and cultural practices, this contemporary performance embodies the identity, community and rich heritage of Cambodia. While the krama may be unique to this Southeast Asian country, its symbolism is universal.

 

Watch as dancers traverse cultural borders, form connections and create moments of shared beauty through movement. An exploration of sacred spaces and our shared humanity, audiences are invited to pay witness to and reflect on this meaningful dance.
