Here is a portrait of a Chinese Street Opera character, a vanishing theatrical art that was once well-loved in Singapore. The dramatic make-up, the resounding music of gongs, cymbals and a distinct singing voice evokes memories for many locals. The artist and her family used to catch these performances along the streets of Singapore, forming a significant part of her childhood memories. Beyond just a form of entertainment, it is an important part of Singapore's Chinese heritage.
