Buy tickets

invisible city is a 90-minute immersive walking experience that traces Singapore's (lost) artistic spaces, surfacing hidden cultural networks and untold stories that shaped the city.

Directed by Sonia Kwek, the tour brings together artists across generations - Stephanie Dogfoot and Siew Guang Hong on 21 Aug; Noor Effendy Ibrahim and Nathanael Ng on 28 Aug; Grace Kalaiselvi and Nurul Atiqah Zaidi on 4 Sep - in a series of performance, movement, storytelling and installation responses that reawaken vanished/ liminal spaces, concluding with Koh Nguang How's mobile archive on local performance art history.

Inspired by Italo Calvino’s novel ‘Invisible Cities’, this journey invites us to explore our relationship to memory, place and desire.

About The Artist Village & Sonia Kwek

About The Artists Village

The Artists Village (TAV) is Singapore’s first contemporary art group. Founded in 1992, the group is historically significant for its engagement with societal changes and issues. It continues to foster an ecology for artistic exchange, practice-sharing, experimentation, and collective learning today, across disciplines and borders.

About Sonia Kwek

Sonia Kwek (b.1990) is an interdisciplinary artist working with and through performance, movement and the body im/material. Her work centres around themes of embodiment, (feminine) eroticism and myth, often through exploring corporeal sensualities, deconstructing archetypes and surfacing the latent unseen. Informed by her lifelong Butoh practice and background in intercultural theatre, she creates through transdisciplinary collaboration, embodied improvisation and a commitment to experimentation. Sonia graduated from the Intercultural Theatre Institute, training across traditional Asian theatre forms and contemporary theatre-making. She is a longtime associate artist with dance performance company P7:1SMA, and a core member and community class facilitator of the Singapore Butoh Collective. In 2024, Sonia founded ‘trace life drawing’, a platform to explore the intersection of life drawing and performance, organising experimental artist-led workshops and sessions with performance artists modelling. Sonia also works regularly as an educator for young people, coaching secondary school drama clubs and teaching drama programs.
