Floor projections will make a return to the Padang, and will be used to transport both the audience and performers to different settings – from the ocean, to the forest and finally to the stars.The second act of the show, a blossoming flower dance by the Soka Gakkai Singapore Women’s Division and local dance troupe Dance Inspiration, will detect a forest scent released into the air.
Titled Building Our Shared Future Together As One, the show seeks to get viewers to look at Singapore’s strengths, such as its multiculturalism, and to ignite a fire of optimism for the future, said Mr Tan. The show’s committee chairman, Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Chen Zhenhao, 41, said: “We hope that through the films, viewers at home can also be inspired to shine their light as they move forward and continue to dream and chase their passions.”
The film-maker said he jumped at the chance to reprise the role of creative director of NDP’s show this year, and cleared the rest of his schedule for this, turning down all other jobs.
