From playwright Eleanor Wong and filmmaker John Torres comes a gripping multi-disciplinary work reimagining life in Singapore and the Philippines on the brink of a dystopian world order.


A leading artistic force in New Philippine Cinema independent auteur John Torres's poetic sensibility and anthropological eye fuse to create films utterly his own.


Matched by acclaimed Singaporean poet and playwright Eleanor Wong – known for her wit and dramatic range – Remotes x Quantum is a thrilling collaboration between two seminal artists marrying themes from Torres' futuristic film The Remotes and Wong's recent text The Quantum of Space.


In Remotes x Quantum two countries collide in their contrasting realities. In the Philippines ordinary people sell the control of their bodies to become avatars purely to survive. While in Singapore an island ladened with first-world preoccupations people struggle to find new meaning in the face of existential challenges.


Blending film poetry theatre and sound in a swirling multi-disciplinary live installation Remotes x Quantum is a searing examination of the state of possession both as noun and verb.


Wong and Torres conjure a dream language set against their home cities on the brink of a dystopian world order to meditate on the physicality spirituality and politics of human bodies limboed in varied states of possession. In a universe where our moral codes and human desires drive the need to possess are there other roads to nirvana?


Recommended for audiences age 13 and above.
