MEPAAN - SIFA 2022

From the Singapore Chinese Orchestra and Tuyang Initiative comes a magnificent performance evoking the sublime rituals of Southeast Asia and its native people brought to life by an electrifying team of creatives.   

MEPAAN – meaning ’always’ in the language of the indigenous Kayan people of Borneo – is a sonic and visual trip into the wellspring of spiritual and cultural nuance embedded in Southeast Asian native culture.  

In a breathtaking performance stirring strains of indigenous music and vocal tradition from Southeast Asia’s island nations are woven into a fabric of powerful orchestral compositions evoking grand ritual and ceremony to transport the mind into the pristine rainforests of Southeast Asia.  

Directed by Natalie Hennedige MEPAAN is set to thrill audiences in an arresting evening of music beauty and transcendence.
