A Thousand Stitches is a moving story of friendship, heartbreak and loss told through a blend of performance, painting and live cinema.
About
A vandalised artwork. An enigmatic painter forced to create wartime propaganda. A desperate act of love.
As Emma, an art conservation student restores a portrait of a Japanese woman, Mizuki, she finds herself transported deep into the heart of Syonan-to—Japanese-occupied Singapore. There, Emma stitches together the lives of Mizuki, the artist, Huang Wei and the storms that raged in and around them.
A Thousand Stitches is a moving story of friendship, heartbreak and loss told through a blend of performance, painting and live cinema. A haunting reimagining of a difficult chapter of Singapore’s history, this presentation explores the transgenerational impact of war and the necessity of hope in the darkest of times.
