Endless Return presents 4LLEN, a durational rave performance comprising of four distinct parts featuring Rosemainy Buang of Antarmuka (SG), Teya Logos (PH), obese.dogma777 (PH) and Mervin Wong (SG), with butoh choreography by XUE (SG).
4LLEN explores the tragic archetype of the fallen (4LLEN) angel, a doomed mythological figure, tapping into conditions of otherness, estrangement and alienation, symptomatic of contemporary Singaporean society. By delving into these themes, 4LLEN aims to examine the unsettling afflictions of contemporary urban existence, prompting audiences to reflect on their own experiences.
This work, created especially for and with the support of the T:>Works Per°Form Open Academy fellowship takes place within a speculative environment called ‘The N3st’ constructed by Endless Return’s Mervin Wong — a speculative environment that also allows for audience participation/contributions throughout the course of the show.
