Ikan Girl

Presented as part of Singapore International Festival of Music.

A story of good triumphing over evil, the story of Ikan Girl reminds one of patience and kindness and the perils of engaging in evil acts especially the mistreatment of a fellow being. Inspired by a Malay ancient poem known as the Syair Bidasari, this story will be presented in the form of a multidisciplinary performance that features original contemporary Malay music which incorporates movement vocabulary from Malay dance, Bharatanatyam and contemporary dance genres.

Both nights are also presented with a recital each - Portrait of a Composer: Syafiqah 'Adha Sallehin on 21 Oct and Portrait of a Virtuoso: Syafiqah 'Adha Sallehin & Nabillah Jalal on 23 Oct.
