[Video Starts]

(Gentle cascading piano music plays throughout the extract.)

A long-haired woman in a white bridal gown stands centre-stage. Her face and hair is covered with white powder. In her left hand, she holds a golden bowl filled with powder. A barefoot woman with shoulder-length hair dressed in a short maroon sleeveless shift dress is standing on the right. She has a streak of white powder smeared down the side of her dress and on her hair.

There is a pile of fabric strewn on the floor behind the woman in the maroon shift dress. White powder sporadically covers the stage.

Both women have powder sitting on their left palms, which are facing upwards. They bend forward and blow gently on their palms, creating white puffs of powder.

White text appears in left bottom corner of screen with text that reads:
“Snow Whitening Revisited”
“New Cambodian Artists (Cambodia)”

The two women slowly move in tandem to their right. They stop, put their mouths close to their palms, and blow gently to produce white puffs of powder.

White text appears in left bottom corner of screen with text that reads:
“Snow Whitening Revisited”
“25 – 31 January 2021”
“via Video on Demand”

The two women watch the puffs dissipate, then arch their palms upwards in a classic Khmer dance gesture. They continue moving forward, raising their palms higher above their heads.

The woman in the bridal gown moves her right hand with the bowl backwards. The woman in the maroon shift dress reaches out to receive the bowl with her right hand.

The two women continue moving forward with their left palms still arched. They slowly lower their palms. They turn slightly in profile towards the front, look deeply into their palms, bend forward and blow once again on their palms.

An overlay of a large colourful logo fades in. It reads:
“M1 Singapore Fringe Festival”
“Quiet Riot!”
“Singaporefringe.com”

White puffs of powder appear and dissipate.

(Music fades out.)

White text fades in that reads:
“Book your tickets at SISTIC now.

The video fades out.
