It’s only when you pull her dress over her head that you can begin to understand the weight of silk on skin; to divine, in the lines left by the seams on her bare shoulders, how you will leave, and when, and with what rehearsed words of deep regret.”

He’s an arbiter of elegance at the end of the road, rewinding a life of cold beauty and harsh truths.

Lyrical, biting and powerful, The Weight of Silk on Skin is a timely meditation on the sensual pleasures and pain of a man’s life.

The Weight of Silk on Skin brings together Ivan Heng, Huzir Sulaiman and Claire Wong, three of Singapore theatre’s most celebrated artists in a sexy new collaboration that promises to get you hot under the collar.
