SPLICE!

It’s strange how time unfolds, i2 and Fremantle Theatre Company presents a new iteration of Xin Hui Ong’s original dance-theatre work: SPLICE! at Victoria Hall, Fremantle from 18 – 20 July 2024.

Ever reconnected with an old friend after a long time, realised that although you’ve both taken different life paths, your journeys resonate, sharing parallel themes and challenges despite making different choices? How do our choices create our reality? How, where and why do we converge?

In a deeply personal and contemplative evening, SPLICE! explores how our lives are threads of a larger fabric of the universe, a multiverse of infinite possibilities. SPLICE! is a mesmerising mix of soulful vocals, loop-recorded live music, a kinetic set design depicting hidden dimensions, and evocative contemporary dance.

With elements of improvisation, the performance is different each night. Dance transforms into discussion after this 30-minute performance as speakers from different walks of life share authentic personal journeys. Conversations continue as we grab a drink at the bar and reflect on our journey together in this life.

Make deeper connections, chat with someone new and meet the artists as we share what life is ‘really like’ for independent artists in WA. We would love to hear what you thought of the work, and exchange ideas on where this could go next.

SPLICE! is perfect for teens figuring out their future, grown-ups reflecting on their life choices, and anyone curious about the meaning of life.

SPLICE! is an evening of poignant performances and deep conversations great for family outings, date nights, or hanging out solo. With the artists, speakers and audience mingling throughout the night, you will not be lost for company.

“Questioning how much free will we have over our movements in a world of determinism, Splice is a clever manifestation of our supposed autonomy.” – Fourth Wall Media
