Returning from 19 May to 4 June 2023 with the title The Anatomy of Performance – Some People, this year’s Festival marks the second year of Hennedige’s three-year tenure as Festival Director. The Festival will return to the live stage in 2023 with four newly commissioned productions and 11 invited international presentations, while continuing to keep its digital presence with a new series of writing and animated art.

Helming the direction for SIFA 2022-2024, Hennedige has defined a three-year arc intended to bring focus to performance and creation in the physical and online space, with the recurring title – The Anatomy of Performance, accompanied by a changing subtitle. This year’s subtitle, Some People, is an invitation for audiences to come together and open their hearts to each other’s perspectives in the space that art defines. SIFA 2023 invites audiences to meditate on the spectrum of the human experience and to find their personal response in works that encompass those who grieve, transform, remember, dominate, disappear, feel, prevail, linger, shimmer, observe, reclaim, endure, dare, and transcend.

Early bird tickets for SIFA 2023, which offer audiences savings of 15%, go on sale from 22 February 6pm till 31 March 2023, 11.59pm on sifa.sg.
