Thanks to the SPH Foundation, DPA’s members had the opportunity of catching an afternoon of theatre at the National Museum of Singapore. On 27 May 2018, we spent the afternoon with the brilliant cast of And Suddenly I Disappear… The Singapore ‘d’ Monologues. This performance was a rather unique one at that, and included accessibility features such as captioning, calm lighting, and step-free access. We were also joined by students from the Intercultural Theatre Institute who engaged and interacted with our members. This performance set an important precedent as the first multilingual, intercultural, disability-led theatre project created between the UK and Singapore. It also aims to open up some much-needed discourse of disability in quality, accessible disability-led work, aspects never before featured in a home-grown Singaporean project.
