Thought-provoking theatre exploring the experience of two queer Singaporeans as they grow older. Based on true accounts, the show delves into relationships, family, insecurity, kindness and safety.

Qing and E are navigating life as queer individuals in their fifties. Qing is struggling to deal with the aftermath of a relationship ending after 20 years, and E is the sole-caregiver to a mother who doesn’t fully accept her.

Written and directed by Chng Yi Kai, When the cloud catches colours is a verbatim play that explores what lies ahead for people who have spent most of their lives in the margins, and how a sense of safety can change for a queer person in Singapore as they get older. It offers a timely reflection on queer resilience after the country repealed the British colonial law section 377A, criminalising sex between adult males, in 2023.
