Synopsis:

Embark on a mystical journey to the fabled Dragon's Teeth Gate and unearth the forgotten stories of Singapore's distant past in an original dance-drama production. Commissioned by Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre (SCCC) and presented by Dance Ensemble Singapore Arts Company (DES Arts), in collaboration with Sri Warisan Som Said Performing Arts, 'Whispers from the Dragon's Teeth Gate' features influences from renowned Indonesian choreographer Didik Nini Thowok, and incorporates local touches by historian Kua Bak Lim, playwright Han Laoda, and Peranakan costume designer Raymond Wong. As we commemorate our bicentennial year, the production sheds light on Singapore's transformation from an island of immigrants to a country forged by our multi-ethnic cultures.

充满神秘色彩的龙牙门诉说着那些新加坡过去鲜为人知的故事? 为纪念新加坡开埠200年,新加坡华族文化中心特别委约新加坡聚舞坊当代艺团制作原创舞剧《龙牙门重现》,带观众走一趟丰富的历史之旅。此次表演也邀请室利瓦里珊马来舞团的舞者参与演出,也同时邀请印尼编舞大师Didik Nini Thowok 担任舞剧中之艺术顾问,新马著名的历史学者柯木林先生作为演出顾问,剧作家韩劳达先生为剧本顾问,以及土生华人服装设计师黄俊荣为服装顾问。结合舞蹈、戏剧和多媒体元素,《龙牙门重现》将为观众呈献岛上爪哇皇室事迹和新加坡多元民族传统文化的传承。
