| Description |
New York-based Singapore playwright Chay Yew collaborates with Italian director Giorgio Barberio Corsetti in a cross-cultural foray featuring a mixed cast from Singapore, China, Italy and the US. Visible Cities explores the high stakes realities of international fashion, globalism, immigration and counterfeit culture that traverse two separate continents and narratives. In one story, we meet Bianca, an agoraphobic Italian woman who strikes up an unusual friendship with a Fish in a post-apocalyptic world. In another, we meet an Italian merchandiser and an ambitious Singapore Chinese fashion buy who visit clothing factories in China. |
