This audio story is a retelling of Kray Chen’s short film, Durian-Picking (2015), which was featured in the 2018 Singapore International Film Festival.  In the film, Kray follows his dad on a late-night durian-picking adventure, encountering other durian pickers and a tropical thunderstorm that causes durians to hail down on them. This new audio version puts you in the centre of the action and lets you experience the intensity of Singapore’s forests from the comfort of your home. As durian hunting is illegal, this might be your only chance to try!

This audio piece was created for the online group exhibition, If Forest Talks, curated by Kent Chan, part of Singapore Art Week 2021 and sponsored by National Arts Council.
