Performing Arts Past
Lacrima, by Caroline Guiela Nguyen
Presented by Singapore International Festival of Arts 2026
DESCRIPTION
When the Princess of England announces her engagement, a Parisian haute couture fashion house receives an extraordinary commission and a fascinating story unfolds across continents and generations. Renowned French theater maker Caroline Guiela Nguyen transforms the stage into a bustling workshop floor in this sprawling play about the hands that make the garments we covet.
Sworn to complete secrecy, craftspeople around the world embark on eight months of intricate labor in service of a single wedding dress. As these men and women all but obliterate themselves in pursuit of perfection, LACRIMA invites the audience into the space between that which destroys us and that which gives our lives purpose.
