Synopsis

No Disaster on This Land 无灾难岛屿

There is no disaster on this land but it is the end of time. The body is defiled. Debris Girl meets Table Boy. In their hands, an effortful tug, an accident of air, a love story that ends with death.

无灾难岛屿上，末世降临。残存和坍塌之际，躯体如白玉被玷污。瓦砾女遇桌子男。一举手，一投足，空气是无私的，是偶然的，爱情是终将逝去的。

This non-verbal performance is created in response to the puppets developed by this year’s maker, Loo An Ni, for The Maker’s Lab 2021 Cycle.

The Maker’s Project 2021 - 2022

The Maker’s Lab 2021 – Puppetry and Sustainability

2021 comes in the wake of a global pandemic. In this year, The Finger Players looks to reinvent itself and its interactions with puppetry – the manner in which puppetry is created, puppets are built and performed and also the afterlives of our puppets and shows.

Sustainability is the ability for us to continue creating puppetry and puppets with the mindful use of our resources – materials, people, finances, space and time and without compromising the ability of future generations to do the same. It calls for an introspection of the socio-economical-political-cultural contexts of puppetry and puppet-making in Singapore. How can we expand the repertoire of locally-available materials for puppet-building? How else can we renew the afterlives of puppets beyond performance? How can we generate less waste during construction and after performance?

In this second iteration of The Maker’s Lab, we are interested to contemplate Puppetry and Sustainability. We would like to invite the Maker to think about reinventing the puppet – its build, function(s), relationship with the puppeteer(s), and the performative potential it inspires. Can the made puppet have future uses, multiple uses, reused or recycled? Can the puppet be modular, scalable and adaptable without compromising on artistic originality and integrity?
