福建秋艺歌仔戏

Dropped by at Lei Yin Temple to shoot the backstage of this Chinese Street Opera in Singapore.

"Since Singapore declared independence from Malaysia in 1965, Chinese street opera has played a significant role in defining Singaporean identity. They play an important role in fostering cultural nationalism and entrepreneurship and by carefully tracing the history of amateur and professional performances in Singapore."
