Have a fiery Friday at arts fest

EMPRESS Place will be transformed into a "forest" of singlets with dozens of suspended singlets lit by fire pots in the evenings from tomorrow to Sunday.

And the "forest" will come with its own soundtrack music played "live" by saxophonist Yuka Okasaki.

The installation art is meant to encourage Singaporeans to chill despite the humidity, said Mr Low Kee Hong, general manager of the Singapore Arts Festival.

It is among 50 such art pieces created using 7,200 fire pots which make up a "fire garden" called Invitation To Dream, which is the opening act in this year's Singapore Arts Festival.

Also part of the opening act are two large fire balls bearing 120 fire pots, and flaming

All street lamps surrounding the area from Empress Place to Esplanade Park will be switched off, so the area will be lit by only the fire pots from 7.30pm to 10.30pm.
