From the Singapore Dance Theatre, in celebration of its 20th anniversary, comes a double bill featuring two of Singapore 's leading choreographers, Jeffrey Tan and Kuik Swee Boon. Tan revisits Sometimes I Think I Remember which traverses the grey area between reality and the surreal, toeing the line between hoping to remember and trying to forget. This dance explores loves lost, hopes dashed, and dreams shattered, but whispers plaintively of new beginnings that arise like the phoenix from the embers of fiery hurt and flickering pain. Kuik premieres Pellucid, a work centred on the theme of simplicity. It examines beauty that is clear and uncluttered and exalts all that is fresh and clean, rejoicing in the true essence of life through what is fundamental and basic.

A recipient of Singapore 's Young Artist Award in 2000, Tan was a principal dancer with SDT before he took on the role of resident choreographer. Kuik, formerly a principal dancer with SDT as well as Spain's Compañia Nacional de Danza, saw his first full-length choreographic venture, Silence , premiere at da:ns 07 to critical success. Both have created works for the Singapore Dance Theatre and the Singapore Arts Festival.
