MOONSTRUCK
To celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, contemporary dance group The Arts Fission Company will perform on an open-top 38m trailer at two locations, the Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay and Phoenix Avenue.
The dance imagines a meeting between familiar Chinese legend Chang Er and an astronaut from the Apollo 11 moon landing.
On why the company chose to stage the show on a trailer, its artistic director Angela Liong says: "We hope to connect mundane, daily sights and things and give them a poetic, surreal twist. Everyone in the city can certainly use a little dose of whimsy in their everyday routines."
