Where do your memories live?

Tree/House is a two-part performance about how we remember in a city of forgetting. First a tree, then a house, providing the starting points for an exercise in modern storytelling, which weaves objects, images and anecdotes together in a provocative and poignant remembrance of things present.

Tree Duet explores our continuing entanglement with trees by presenting a theatrical meditation on the things they make us think and do. An eco-performance minus the moralizing, spell#7's Paul Rae and Kaylene Tan, reinvent tree-lore for the 21st century.

House of Memory is a quirky performance lecture by visual artist and film-maker Ho Tzu Nyen. Beginning with the destruction of his childhood home, Tzu Nyen plunders the history of twentieth century cinema, from the arthouse to the action-packed, in search of his memories - with increasingly explosive results.

On the top row, the left photo depicts a tree trunk that was cut, the right photo depicts an overlay of a cut tree trunk. The bottom row's left photo depicts a shrine-looking box surrounded by trees, and the right photo shows a male figure with his arms raised above him carrying something on top of his head.
