Reimagining Classic Folktales: Si Tanggang

Si Tanggang is a popular South East Asian folktale about a man who was turned into stone for being an ungrateful son. Reimagining this timeless story as an immersive VR dance drama gives it a fresh treatment for a modern tech savvy generation. It will be presented at the 2025 edition of DanceXR - a programme of immersive dance experiences presented on VR headsets.

​

Si Tanggang is a collaboration with Sri Warisan, a performing arts company founded by renowned cultural Medallion recipient, Madam Som Said. Sri Warisan, formed in 1997, is one of the pivotal forces in Singapore's Malay dance scene. Blending rich traditional forms with contemporary techniques is Sri Warisan's trademark. Its performers are trained to excel in multi-disciplinary art forms such as dance, music, theatre and multi-media.
