".... griping and whining were the fifth most cited essential traits of a Singaporean."
- The Straits Times, 12 August 2007

A spectre is haunting the world - the spectre of the Complaints Choir. People all over the world - in Helsinki, Birmingham, Jerusalem or Alaska - have joined together to sing out their complaints with fellow citizens. No complaint is too big or small: from broken underpants to snoring husbands to offices with Siberian temperatures, the choir members decide on their favourite gripes that will be made into the song.

Join the Complaints Choir of Singapore!

The movement has finally arrived in Singapore. This is your opportunity to show our uniquely Singaporean complaint culture. Come and join the Complaints Choir of Singapore! Show your pride for our infamous complaint culture and sing, Singapore! Anybody is welcome - no singing skills required.

For more information or to register, please email info@singaporefringe.com or call us at 6440 8115.

Aside from the formation of and performances by the Singapore Complaints Choir, all four Complaints Choir Videos – Helsinki, Birmingham, Hamburg and St Petersburg – will be showcased as a 2-channel video installation at The Art House Gallery throughout the Festival.
