Sekali Theia: An audio experience

Sekali Theia is a sprawling audio experience that responds to Sookoon Ang’s public art commission, Moonlight. Taking inspiration from the emptied flats of Tanglin Halt and the ghost tracks that run down the Rail Corridor, Sekali Theia explores how different layers of time and space can occur simultaneously and transform the bodies that pass through them.

The audio experience begins with a self-guided walk and ends with a live performance. It is an invitation to listen deeply and be attuned to the fragments of a place, each one displaced or emplaced over time and preceded by the hypothesised collision of Planet Theia into proto-Earth. This single cosmic event, which birthed the moon, seasons and tides, has rippling echoes that continue to unfurl in all matter—environments, flora and fauna—through endless cycles of creation and destruction.

ila and bani haykal will be performing solo live sets on 27 July and 3 August respectively.
