Double-bill Showcase: Of Dreams & Butterflies (梦是蝴蝶的翅膀) + In Her Shoes

ART:DIS (Arts & Disability Singapore) presents a double-bill showcase for two nights, featuring a pan-disability cast in collaboration with industry professionals.

Showcase 1

Of Dreams & Butterflies (梦是蝴蝶的翅膀) is a story about dreams and passions of persons with disabilities, performed in Mandarin with English & Mandarin captions.

In a quiet corner of the city, inside a small and peculiar cafe, Kayla and Deon brew coffee for others while whispering their aspirations. One longs to be an artist, the other a radio host. They see the paths to their pursuits clearly, yet reality may not recognize their sincerity and effort. Like the butterfly—thin wings, yet heavy with strength.

Showcase 2

In Her Shoes is a heartwarming multidisciplinary performance to celebrate the bond between two daughters and their mothers.

Through expressive dance movement, the daughters honour their milestones and achievements — stepping into their own identities with strength and pride. Even in the absence of their mothers, their presence lingers, shaping every step forward. Uplifting and deeply personal, this work is a tribute to resilience, the right to be different, and the enduring power of family. It invites audiences into a moving journey of growth, reflecting on themes of love, courage and the dreams carried across generations.
