Set against the Malayan Emergency, the performance is part-documentary and part-speculative, examining how we contend with the past and the future. Through the lens of Sim\u2019s life and camera, we time travel into her family archive, recovering traces left in the wake of the anti-colonial war in British Malaya and beyond.<\/p>\n
Created\u00a0by a Singaporean-Australian creative team\u00a0with direction by Tamara Saulwick and video design by Nick Roux, the work combines haunting imagery with narration, archival footage and a driving live score by percussionist Cheryl Ong, to depict Sim\u2019s multiple personas as artist, historian, writer, mother and granddaughter.<\/p>\n
Drawing on Sim\u2019s large body of work in film and photography, One Day We\u2019ll Understand<\/em>transcends the autobiographical to more universal experiences of memory, loss, trauma, restitution and repair. It unearths hidden histories, Chinese diasporic experiences and the long legacies of colonialism, opening up ways to think about our past and future.<\/p>\n One Day We’ll Understand<\/em> is a CultureLink Singapore production in partnership with Chamber Made commissioned by Esplanade \u2013 Theatres on the Bay.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Concept \/ Performer: <\/strong>Sim Chi Yin <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One Day We\u2019ll Understand is a new multimedia performance exploring memory and inheritance through the compelling family history of visual…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2712,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"template-detail_projects.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3589","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-projects"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3589","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3589"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3589\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3641,"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3589\/revisions\/3641"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2712"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3589"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3589"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/culturelink.com.sg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3589"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
