Revel in the arts this May through play! The Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), Singapore’s pinnacle annual performing arts festival organised by Arts House Group and commissioned by the National Arts Council, returns from 15 to 30 May with a vibrant constellation of performances, installations and encounters — from epic productions to engaging, participatory works. Led by the call-to-action “Let’s Play!”, SIFA 2026 invites audiences to explore, experiment, engage and be inspired by the arts.

Soak in the Festival vibes at the iconic Festival Village, which makes its return this edition. Free performances, public installations and communal spaces featuring local artists such as The Observatory, The Theatre Practice and Off Root Theatrics welcome festivalgoers from dusk to dawn, on the Festival grounds and beyond. This year, SIFA brings two large-scale and high-impact artistic experiences from the Festival Village to Nexus, Punggol Digital District, enthralling the community with a soaring aerial performance featuring artists suspended 25 feet in the air, and a speculative theatrical procession full of colour, texture, movement and melody.

Local commissioned productions and international works take the stage to bring together a cross collaboration of cultures and disciplines. From spotlighting homegrown cultural icons such as Jacintha Abisheganaden and Dick Lee, and the reimagining of classics such as Ibsen’s Hedda Gabler by the National Theater Company of Korea, and Hamlet by Peruvian company Teatro La Plaza and its cast of actors with Down syndrome, to dance-based productions that blur the lines of reality through holographic technology and stunning stage illusions, SIFA 2026 opens up multiple pathways and platforms for audiences to rediscover the joy and significance of coming together through art.

这个五月，通过“玩乐”尽情享受艺术！由Arts House Group主办、National Arts Council委约的新加坡年度顶级表演艺术盛会——新加坡国际艺术节 (SIFA) 将于5月15日至30日重磅回归。本届艺术节呈现丰富多彩的表演、装置及互动体验——从宏大的舞台制作到引人参与的作品。以“Let’s Play!”为号召，SIFA 2026邀请观众探索、尝试、参与并从艺术中获得灵感。

在标志性的Festival Village沉浸于艺术节的氛围——这一场地在本届艺术节再度亮相。免费表演、公共艺术装置和由The Observatory、The Theatre Practice、Off Root Theatrics等本地艺术家打造的公共空间，将从黄昏到黎明欢迎观众光临，不仅在Festival Village，也延伸至周边场地。今年，SIFA将两项大型、高影响力的艺术体验从Festival Village带至Punggol Digital District的Nexus，通过空中表演呈现25英尺高空悬挂的艺术家，以及一场色彩、质感、动作与旋律交织的戏剧游行，为社区带来震撼体验。

本地委约作品与国际作品同台演出，汇聚跨文化及跨学科的艺术合作。从聚焦本土文化偶像如Jacintha Abisheganaden和Dick Lee，到由National Theater Company of Korea重新演绎的经典作品Ibsen的Hedda Gabler，以及由秘鲁剧团Teatro La Plaza及唐氏综合症演员阵容呈现的Hamlet；再到利用全息技术与舞台幻象模糊现实界限的舞蹈作品，SIFA 2026为观众开辟多重路径与平台，让大家重新发现通过艺术聚集在一起的乐趣与意义。
