Anamnesis is an exploration of dance, movement, and puppetry. The show seeks to uncover the language of movement theater and the philosophy underlying the art of puppetry. It uses fabric to exemplify how we can assemble movement theater and puppetry to explore different vocabularies in the art of movement.

Always a work-in-progress, Anamnesis is performed by Seong Hui Xan and Bright Ong of The Artground's E.P.I.C. team.

Performers and Creators: Seong Hui Xuan, Bright Ong
