Synopsis

‘The familiar past, the unpredictable present, and the unknown future’
The equation “PAST x PRESENT = FUTURE” invites contemplation on how the echoes of the past resonate in the present, shaping the trajectory of what is yet to come.
In its third edition, the theme for Comma Creative Arts Festival invites artists to delve into this interconnectedness by unearthing forgotten narratives, rituals, and traditions. Across the Somerset Belt, young and bold artists will pay homage to our roots while offering fresh and contemporary interpretations, weaving together the threads of past, present, and future.
Comma also invites audiences to experience *SCAPE’s ongoing transformation. Its unique setting provides a compelling backdrop to showcase and celebrate emerging artists, dancers, and musicians in the fields of visual arts, interdisciplinary arts, dance film, crafts and music.
