Explore the explosive relationship between art and faith as the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival returns for its eighth outing from 15-26 February 2012.
Organised and curated by The Necessary Stage, the festival showcases Singapore and international works from artists of several genres: from dance and theatre to visual arts.
The 2012 edition of the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival will feature a wide variety of works that have never been shown in Singapore before, with eight works making their world premieres and four works their Asian premieres.
The festival will also see a few returning faces from previous years such as Phillip Toledano from the United Kingdom and Htein Lin from Myanmar, together with Sean Tobin and Teater Ekamatra from Singapore.

* The Triple Gem by Myanmarese artist Htein Lin, explores immaterial concepts such as impermanence using material means. Through the use of religious items such as monks’ robes and bowls, this art installation provides a space for viewers to reflect and contemplate.
