IYC presents Meet Fred

Meet Fred

22 & 23 Nov 2024 | KC Arts Centre - Home of SRT

A heartwarming ride through the chaos of life, seen through the eyes of a puppet who's anything but ordinary.

Meet Fred, a puppet with a lot of personality who’s trying to make sense of a confusing world. Fred just wants to be like everyone else, but being a puppet stands in his way. Being completely dependent on his puppeteers makes things... complicated. Especially when his PLA (Puppetry Living Allowance) is threatened, and one of his puppeteers might be gone!

Fred seems to navigate a world stacked against him. His journey reflects the struggles faced by many, especially those with disabilities, as he tackles paperwork, misunderstandings, and the quest for a normal life. Yet, amid the challenges, Fred discovers surprising moments of joy that light up his path!

Meet Fred tells a story that proves even the smallest among us have the biggest stories to tell. Filled with humour and full of heart, this charming tale is sure to keep you smiling long after the curtain falls.

	Creative Captioned (CC) : Creative captioned (CC) performances are designed to cater to patrons who are Deaf / Hard of Hearing. In a CC performance, there will be text projected on or near the stage that transcribes all auditory elements of the show into written English (speech, music, sound cues, etc). Trained captioners will operate their captions live. Colour contrast, placement, and size of the caption text will be considered throughout the process. Advised by our patrons and Venue team, seating for audience members will be allocated to provide an optimal view of the captions during the performance, and the stage itself.
	Singapore Sign Language Interpreted Performance (SgSL): Sign Language Interpreted performances are designed to cater to patrons who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing. In a signed performance, there will be a trained interpreter who will be placed in a visible position on or near the stage. The interpreter will sign all auditory elements of the show using Singapore Sign Language. Advised by The Singapore Association of the Deaf, seating is allocated for each SgSL performance to provide an optimal view to both the show and the interpreter.
