About the Programme

Some stories were never meant to be found...

Inspired by the literary horror traditions of Singapore and Southeast Asia, step into the role of archivists and researchers investigating a rediscovered collection of forgotten stories from 1950s Singapore and Malaya. As you sift through archival dossiers, disturbing truths hidden within the pages begin to surface. With every discovery, the mystery deepens, blurring the line between folklore and reality - leaving you to question whether some stories are better left untold.

Suitable for adults and youths aged 15 and above.
