Story: 100 years after the great war, the Machine world and Man's empire lie in decay. A gigantic glass barrier separates the two worlds as both sides maintain an uneasy peace. A young robot accidentally awakens a sorceress named Gitw after discovering the key to an ancient machine. Upon realizing it is impossible for her to return to her own dimension unless she saves this world and restores balance, Gitw embarks on a journey to unite the two worlds. With the help of the first machine Alice, she unlocks memories from the past, with the hope of creating a new utopia where Man, Machine and Nature can co-exist and progress.

Concert | LAND with NO SUN II : Dance of the Earth

Tickets : $25 (normal), $15 (student concession), $35 (collectors)

“This is the only world I know.
But maybe, just maybe .... there's another world out there, alive and waiting for me ... Should I go?”

The third installment of the highly successful LAND with NO SUN audio-film concert series, Dance of the Earth continues where the story left off in Promemoria.

A third world war in the distant future had devastated the Earth's surface and forced humanity to rebuild their civilization in the heavens. A girl born in the sky-cities begins to wonder if life still existed on the world below. She escapes to the surface and makes a discovery that could change the fate of humanity.

Dance of the Earth is an immersive audio-film concert which combines video/animation with live music, performed by the groundbreaking TO ensemble & its contemporary orchestra.

Experience a journey of hope and discovery with original music, orchestration and story by award-winning composer Tze Toh, featuring soloists Lazar T.Sebastine (Indian violin), Boon Chye Teo (saxophone), Christina Zhou (violin), Shing Min Yap (soprano), Wei Lung Wong (drums).
