Malaysian theatremaker Jo Kukathas is set to collaborate with British multidisciplinary artist Tai Shani on the online artwork The Neon Hieroglyph, which focuses on an unlikely protagonist – the ergot, a fungus found on common grains that has been linked to mass hallucinations across Europe.
The 60-minute trippy filmic performance is part of the upcoming the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), organised by Arts House Limited and commissioned by Singapore’s National Arts Council.
