"I do not think Singapore is ready... There are gay groups in Singapore, there are gay people in Singapore and they have a place to stay here and we let them live their own lives. And we do not harass them or discriminate against them. But neither, I think, if you ask most Singaporeans, do we want the LGBT community to set the tone for Singapore society. The society is basically a conservative one." - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong (4 June 2015)
What is it like to grow up different in a country where laws, morality and the media dictate what is normal? Who gets to determine what constitutes harassment and discrimination against minorities? Is Singapore society really as conservative as we're often told it is? Can this country truly be a home for everyone, regardless of race, language, religion, sexual orientation and gender identity?
Based on frank, funny and sometimes fabulous interviews conducted with over 50 brave and inspiring individuals, Let's Get Back Together is an original testimonial theatre piece exploring the realities that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people face on a daily basis in Singapore. Even as the rest of the world begins to wake up to the idea that LGBT rights are human rights, Let's Get Back Together sheds light on the trials and triumphs of these individuals as they grapple with issues of faith, identity and acceptance.
