"This dance-electronic music collaboration draws inspiration from the intricacies, complexities and beauty of living in the urban landscape of culturally diverse city, Singapore. It reflects the ongoing process to resolve the contradictions of owning a cultural heritage which is familiar yet distant. Through synthesis of the elements of sound and movement, we express the hope that the journey forward is to a place where one can finally find acceptance, understanding, and the ability to live as one despite our differences."
