Theatre: Displaced Persons’ Welcome Dinner

Victoria Theatre, 9 Empress Place, Singapore 179556

As part of Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) 2019, Displaced Persons’ Welcome Dinner is a multidisciplinary theatrical work set against the backdrop of humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, investigating the realities of the aid industry. With sensitivity and nuance, Huzir delves beneath media portrayals to discover a world where good people struggle with treacherous politics and flawed institutions.

 

This examination of the idealism and heroism of humanitarian workers raises vital questions about our world – from the nature of conflict, the toxic nature of institutions, and the challenges we face when confronted with powers larger than ourselves.

 

When: 24 – 26 May 2019, 3.00 pm and 8.00 pm

Where: Victoria Theatre (9 Empress Place, Singapore 179556)
