The Incredible Adventures of Border Crossers is a new performance forged in collaboration with creative talents specialising in design, photography, video and sound (Chris Lee of Asylum, Reckless Ericka, Francis Ng, Brian Gothong Tan, Kaffe Matthews). It tells a story of past-present-future through the voices of border crossers. Real-life border crossers who have never acted before (from Europe, the Americas, and the Asia-Pacific) are invited to be performers in this piece. Sharing their everyday stories as incredible adventures, they inhabit the installation — singing, dancing and invoking pioneer travellers who were captured by the Lee Brothers Studio in Singapore, a unique photo salon, in 1910. The Incredible Adventures of Border Crossers is a stunning combination of music, visual culture, live video, fashion, documentary and photo-performance that envisions communications in a not-so-distant future megapolis, a heterotopia of individuals.
First presented the opening of Singapour en France – le festival at Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France, in March 2015, The Incredible Adventures of Border Crossers was restaged in Singapore in September for the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2015.
