Danial Matin (he/him) 

Danial Matin has written plays about love, grief, and suicidality. He is interested in ideas of personal and historical memory, and normalizing representations of marginal communities and issues. Recent accolades include Here Where You Were (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival, 2024), Ghazal of the Banana Tree’s Heart (Singapore Art Week, 2024), Asymptote (Singapore International Festival of the Arts, 2023), and Before You Go (independent, 2022). He is a writer at Playwrights Commune, a creative at Matter.Less, and was a resident at Centre 42’s Playwright’s Professional Development Residency pilot. Imaginative narratives about intimacy and the interpersonal are close to his heart, next to bubble tea.
