'Singapore: Inside Out' Showcases Singaporean Talent Across World. First Stop: Beijing
As part of marking 50 years of Singaporean independence celebrations (SG50), "Singapore: Inside Out" aims to broaden the international community’s perception of Singapore through a presentation of creative works from famous Singaporean talent. Their first stop is Beijing, and after that the artists will travel to London and finally New York.
Singapore: Inside Out will debut at Beijing’s 751 D-Park on April 22, and will run for five days until Sunday April 26. Throughout these days visitors can expect a bunch of exciting events including screening of selected short films by award-winning Singaporean director Royston Tan, a post-screening discussion with the director and Chinese film producer Qin Yu, performances from T.H.E Dance Company, inspiration session with Chinese host and singer-songwriter Kelly Cha, and more.
