08. BAH
BAH
This epilogue marks a gesture that takes root in the notion of procession. That hijrah (migration), that culmination of BAH, (flood), that eventuality of pasir berubah (transforming lands), will all converge in this moment of time at the open space of Joo Chiat Complex.
With everyone coming together in a public space, we weave in and out of the virtual and physical, forming a full circle of life. This epilogue revels on the themes discovered in the earlier stages of District 14; the sense of losing, excavating and rebirthing of personal and collective meanings about Geylang Serai. Then, holding space for each other to uncover the 7 concealed objects donated by our dear Geylang Serai merchants.
An epilogue film that shares our multiple perspectives and hopes about District 14. One that does not remain in a bout of nostalgia, but the rebirthing of new ways of knowing a place like Geylang Serai.

Everyone was then invited to learn the phrase together, done in a circle. Haizad shared that the phrase had influences from Silat (a Malay martial art form) and that its speed is rather slow. He also went through a simple step-tap to be used as the foundation for the joget lambak segment. They then tried the last segment together with music, where everyone is in the center, performing the phrase and going into the free movement / party segment.
