NIGHT AT THE GALLERY
Alliance Française de Singapour invites you to spend a Night at the Gallery, where contemporary art, dance, music, and wine come together for an unforgettable evening during which your senses will be awakened.
Journey through A Tale of Wondering Wilds, a narrative exhibition that explores the ever-evolving relationship between humanity and the natural world through the works of five internationally acclaimed French artists. The exhibition traces a path from untamed wilderness to a world reshaped by human hands, inviting us to reflect on the fragile bond that continues to unite us with the living world.
As the gallery comes to life, ARTS FISSION dance company presents The Secret Room of Urban Bestiary, an evocative site-specific performance unfolding among the artworks. Through powerful choreography, dancers reveal the instinctive, untamed animal that still lies within us, blurring the boundaries between civilisation and nature, human and beast, in a poetic exploration of our most primal selves.
The evening continues with a live performance by Flanery, whose captivating voice fills the gallery with melodies that echo the exhibition's themes of transformation, memory, and belonging, creating another dialogue between artistic expression and the space itself.
To complete this immersive journey, enjoy a curated wine selection inspired by the exhibition. Three carefully selected wines becomes an extension of the artworks, translating their textures, emotions, and contrasts into flavour, and inviting you to experience the exhibition through every sense. Each guest will be offered one tasting sample of each wine and will have the possibility to further indulge by purchasing additional glasses.
For one extraordinary evening, let art moves you, music surrounds you, wine inspires you, and rediscover the wild within.
The Secret Room of Urban Bestiary - by ARTS FISSION
This contemporary dance work presents a parallel kinetic dimension to the exhibition A Tale of Wondering Wilds at the Alliance Francaise Gallery. The performance contemplates a reality that is as surreal as it is increasingly likely: wildlife forced to adapt to the drastic ecological shifts of encroaching urbanisation.
Working with her dancers—each embodying a half-human, half-beast avatar—Angela Liong and her dancers explore the primal instincts of creatures driven to pounce, run, and climb, even within confined urban spaces.
Light or Shadow - by Flanery
Let yourself be swept away by Flanery’s captivating performance, weaving reinterpretations of celebrated artists with original creations into a poetic soundtrack for this special evening.
Curated Wine Selection - by People of Wine
Three wines, three artistic encounters.
Throughout the evening, let a specially curated selection of three wines guide you through the experience — each chosen by People of Wine to echo a different moment of the night: A Tale of Wondering Wilds exhibition, Arts Fission’s contemporary dance performance, and Flanery’s live musical performance.
From visual art to movement and music, discover how each wine creates its own dialogue with the artistic experience, inviting you to explore the evening through both the senses and the imagination.
