Let's Get Back Together (2014)

2 September 2014 – 5 September 2014 @ Drama Centre Black Box, National Library Building

Synopsis

Let’s Get Back Together is an original testimonial theatre piece exploring what it means to be Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, or Transgender (LGBT) in Singapore in this day and age.

Based on interviews conducted with over 50 brave and inspiring individuals, Let's Get Back Together explores the realities that LGBT individuals face on a daily basis. From coming out to facing discrimination from wider society to grappling with faith, the road to acceptance is a constant and very real struggle for many in the community. 

With these voices, we hope to render more visible their struggles, and of course, triumphs - a timely reminder in light of heated public discourse. And in doing so, break the barriers to understanding the complex and contentious nature of this hot-button issue in Singapore.

We believe that the first step to mutual respect is understanding.
