We’re keeping the SIFA 2025 excitement going with Part 2 of our festival spotlight series and trust me, you’ll want to bookmark this one! After last weekend’s spectacular opening at the SIFA Pavilion and powerful shows like Animal Farm and Umbilical, this week we're diving into something deeply moving, beautifully inclusive, and oh-so-relevant for our times.
Introducing... COLONY – A True Colors Project 🧡

A Cross-Cultural Celebration of Inclusion Through Dance, Music & Film
COLONY is not your average performance; it's a breathtaking fusion of contemporary dance, live music, film, and raw storytelling that explores community, identity, and what it truly means to belong. Featuring 13 performers from six countries - Singapore, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Japan, this show is an emotional rollercoaster that spotlights diversity while confronting themes of prejudice, exclusion, and hope.
It's like watching a beautifully choreographed conversation unfold, where bodies speak, music stirs your soul, and film draws you closer to each dancer’s journey.

The Story Behind the Movement
Set in a fictional community where fear and ignorance create invisible barriers between people, COLONY imagines what happens when a mysterious stranger challenges these divides with empathy and connection. Will the community listen? Will they change?
Directed by the brilliant Remesh Panicker, with choreography by Andy Benjamin Cai, music by Azrin Abdullah, and visuals by award-winning filmmaker Mak CK, this is a show that will tug at your heartstrings and spark important conversations long after the curtain falls.
