In The Substation’s latest programme lineup, the arts centre has been tackling one of Singapore’s most famous icons of all – the Singapore Girl, as they present a series of talks, performances and parties interrogating, exploring and of course, celebrating the sarong kebaya clad stewardess in all her myriad forms. Of these programmes, local thespian and newly minted “Crazy Rich Asian” Tan Kheng Hua will be presenting theatre variety show She’s A Great Way To Fly.
In this show, Kheng puts the spotlight on artists Yen Then, ScRach MarcS, André Chong, Lim Zeharn, Joie Tan, Jana Ann, Joy Ng, Leonard Choo, Audrey Teong, Shirin Keshvani, Alysha Chandra and Jacqueline Chang, as they present a myriad of presentations ranging from performance lectures to film, plays to even a yoga flow sequence, each questioning the character of the Singapore Girl and her relevance, personality and position today. We spoke to Kheng about what audiences can expect from this “anyhowly put together” show, and why they should come and watch it.
