ART:DIS (Arts & Disability Singapore) presents a double-bill showcase, featuring a pan-disability cast in collaboration with industry professionals.
Showcase 1
Please Let Me Have This is a story about how three young women, stretched to the breaking point in their daily lives, cling to one thing that still makes them feel alive – the fan community around a hit fantasy sci-fi show. On impulse, they set off to watch their favourite actor perform.
But the show’s official creator has just been accused of sexual assault. And as the trip spirals on, both that grim reality and the truths of their own lives catches up to them.

Showcase 2
Desires of Wild Imagination is a multi-disciplinary performance blending poetry and visual arts. Ever wondered what it’ll be like to swim in chocolate lava? Or even admire the beauty of sunshine lemons? Or maybe have adventures in your sweet dreams about your favourite treats?
As Trevor journeys deeper into this dreamscape, the boundaries around him dissolve. Paint bleeds into words, poems speak in soundless motion, and dance bends gravity. The gallery transforms with each act – rooms melt, shadows whisper, and forgotten muses take form. Through every painting comes their own unique poem. All paintings come with their own story, adventure and music, letting you dare to dream. Come join the surreal fun!
