The Age of Revelation tells the tale of a mythic figure who wanders through the world and observes the slowly growing disconnection between humanity, nature, and humanity’s innate spirituality. A sound-film collaboration between SAtheCollective and filmmaker Liao Jiekai as part of an artist commission by the Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, this film features choreography by performance artist Effendy Ibrahim and participation by local performers and dance artists as the cast.

"Dancing with the Ghost of My Child in 33 steps" is an aging man’s increasing desire and longing for an inspiration, for a life, for a child that he pains to father, and be a father to. In this dance, a man dreams of invoking the ghost of a child, his child, who has not yet been born into the world. This man lays his prayer across time and space. He prays for what love has yet to conceive. He hopes that if the ghost of his child is lost, the child may hear his voice, and find a path back to him. This dance leads the man to a moment in his life where perhaps he might begin to believe again.
