Potentialities. The theme of this year's Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA). The focus on potential occurrences that could possibly happen in this time of uncertainty.
The world faces threats of global warming, terrorism and economic uncertainty. As a nation, Singapore's safe and peaceful bubble is showing signs of wanting to burst.
At the same time, potentialities also point to hope, an ideal we want to project through art and performance. This year's SIFA aims to help you enjoy the arts and find in the arts your own potential to aspire towards better things. Unlock your potential by visiting these key performances.
