TAGFISH by Berlin (Belgium)

The National Museum of Singapore will be presenting a production from Belgium, TAGFISH, on 14-16 April 2011 at the Gallery Theatre.

It is a theatrically-staged film montage by a Flemish group called BERLIN, and is presented in German and English with English subtitles.

TAGFISH by Berlin (Belgium)

Thursday - Saturday, 14 - 16 April 2011, 8pm

Gallery Theatre, National Museum of Singapore

Tickets at S$19 (excluding SISTIC charge) will be on sale from 7 March from www.sistic.com.sg.

Student concessions are available.

Tagfish* tells the story of the UNESCO world heritage site Zollverein, a coal mining complex in the German Ruhr area. Following the exodus of industry from the region, people set to work searching for new purposes for the abandoned land and vacant industrial heritage sites. A Sheikh has plans for his latest dream: to develop a luxury hotel in Zollverein. Can a world heritage site be sold?

Six individuals: the architect, the town planner, the professor, the negotiator, the journalist and the provocateur, each have their own opinions about this. These people have never met before in real life but are put together on six individual screens, waiting for the Sheikh to take the seventh chair. In a theatrically-staged film montage, these interviewees debate, argue and philosophise about feasibility and costs in millions, about utopias and visions, stagnation and impending change. The material used in Tagfish is documentary, presented as a performance.

BERLIN

www.berlinberlin.be

The Flemish theatre group Berlin makes cinematic theatre, a blend of documentary, performance and video. Berlin goes through a profound research process before selecting a medium or a combination of media on the basis of that study for each project. Berlin works with many others in both artistic and academic domains, resulting in a series of intriguing city portraits. Berlin likes to perform its productions in different circuits: theatres, exhibition spaces, festivals, special locations.

* Tagfish is a poker term and describes a player at the table who knows the rules inside out but doesn’t take risks and doesn’t adapt his game, which makes him easy prey for his opponents.

Our very own Society T-Shirt!

Dear Members & Friends,

Do you feel jealous each time you see your friend wearing a t-shirt of his/her club or society? Do you feel upset because you don't know who else on campus are in the same society as you? Do you want a t-shirt that screams your membership in the German Language Society?

Fret not!

I am pleased to inform you that our society will be having our very own t-shirt this semester! This t-shirt is specially designed for our society by our very own editor and would be available in three colors (black, red and yellow). The design is not finalized at the moment as there may be slight changes since we are still negotiating for better prices. Nevertheless, the overall design will be very similar to the one attached.

We are accepting your orders now. Fill in this online form to order. Once the design is confirmed, we will send everyone an email and subsequently collect a small deposit. You may be assured that each t-shirt will not cost more than $20 and it could be much lower if we receive more orders. So hesitate no further, send in your forms and get your friends to do so too!

Do view the attached photos for reference. Alternatively, if there are significant savings from not printing on the sleeves, we may use the last design instead.

The sizes will roughly be the same as the usual class or camp tees, e.g. 36 inches for XS, 38" for S and etc.

This will be our very first society t-shirt so we hope to have your support! (We know you want it!)

Thank you!
