stray gods (Singapore International Festival of Arts 2025)

久唔唱歌忘記歌

(A long time without singing you forget the song)

Has all my revelry now stung me blind

Whose now am I if here no longer mine

But of the whims of winds and ghosts and rivers

A hundred mouths in breath in width and bigger

Than life. I lie beside myself both quiet still wet

With shock as two cuts parallel in the same flesh

Prized cub whose limb from limb I cleft

His head screams in my hands

weish presents a new body of work that draws from an ancient text and incorporates the dying songs and language of her heredity. In this SIFA 2025 commission she builds upon and looks beyond her signature sonic palette to discover new approaches to storytelling through music.
