Project: Wayang: Entertainment on Stilts
 
Design Brief:
To rejuvenate Raffles's landing site by building an outdoor exhibition space.
 
Synopsis:
To look into the life and entertainments of the Teochew immigrants in Nanyang during the 18th Century. I've selected an interesting past-time they had, which is the Chinese Opera also known as Wayang. Through studies, I've extracted the essence of Wayang through its colours, the make-shift stage by the river and the "emotions" felt behind the curtains. 
 
To also reminisce about the significance of the Singapore River and have a share of our forefather's favourite past-time. This exhibition is designated to educate people of the gradual disappearance of traditional Arts and to unfold stories of the crew members and their lives.
