"To me, history doesn’t live in dates. It lives in bodies—in what we repeat, in what we carry without noticing. It doesn’t move in a line—it pulses, interrupts, disappears, returns," explains Hong Guofeng, Director and one of the four choreographers of Soft Archives. "I’m not interested in telling a story. I’m interested in what the body remembers when we’re not trying to remember."

Soft Archives is a constellation assembled by movement, not meaning.

There isn’t a single, authoritative version—but fragments and impressions.

Inspired by Walter Benjamin’s Arcades Project and Singapore’s layered history of colonialism, rapid modernization, and cultural fusion, the audience becomes a collector, assembling meaning from motion.

One segment ends.

Another begins.

The archive expands.

In these modular, unordered fragments of a contemporary dance performance, we glimpse the city’s silent negotiations—its architectures of support, delay, and interdependence. This is not history as a line, but as a loop. Not memory as narrative, but as necessity.

In 2024, Hong created Body History, a work exploring the personal narratives our bodies silently carry. Audiences described it as having “embodied authenticity in the realm of artifice”, while The Straits Times praised its “unconventional use of space” and “richness of reflections.”

Building on that inquiry, Soft Archives turns its gaze outward as Singapore marks its 60th year—examining how layers of history, culture, politics, and society overlap and entangle within physical space.
