National Museum of Singapore in the nightInto its fourth year, the Night Festival 2011 celebrates the cultural and ethnographic richness of the Bras Basah Precinct.
Gina and I met on 26 August 2011, to participate in the Voyage Night Festival 2011. It was a delightful experience.
A Dozen of Those by Lim Shing EeAt the entrance of National Museum, we saw 12 large bright red helium balloons, each being held by a faceless brown figure sitting on an equally mundane and ordinary looking brown boulder. A Dozen of those describes the sense of displacement and dislocation that all those who uproot themselves from their familar environments must feel.

Getting ready for the night performanceThe performance was due to commence at 10.30pm. Both of us were there at 10pm. At 10.15pm it started to drizzle, people started taking out their umbrellas. I recalled 2 years ago, they delayed the performance when it rained. Hence keeping fingers crossed, such an incident wouldn't occur. Luckily, at 10.30pm, the rain stopped, the lights were on the show commenced. It was a spectacular show, one not to be missed.
Corazon de Angeles in Paradise (Heart of Angels) marks the high point of the Night Festival. Symbolising universal cultural unity Corazon de Angeles in Paradise celebrates the matrimony of a Groom and Bride from 2 different cultures.

Star dust from the sky - those in front were blessed by the star dust. Gina and I were decked with star dust from head to toe :) Look as though we just came from a party.
In a cinematic journey which combines music, dance, film, acrobatics, live performance and pyrotechnics, we the audience were taken through a world of voyages and encounters, fascinating and magical, like summer night dreams.
