Poets and writers partake in a collective visual\/creative game of inspiration<\/i><\/p>\n

Immerse yourself in the ambience of Pasir Panjang Power Station as it is transformed into a cocoon of the imagination for four poets and two illustrators. Taking inspiration from the Cadavre Exquis (French for \u2018Exquisite Corpse\u2019), a favourite game by surrealist artists created in the 1920s, six artists will contribute their own to a collective piece, after only seeing a sliver of illustration or a line of text done prior.<\/p>\n

What strange creature will emerge from their imaginative minds? An immersive experience, audiences can take part in this site-specific response project, wandering through the spaces as they take in the sensual triggers.<\/p>\n
