Three goddesses come to life as Mark Chan returns to the Singapore Arts Festival after a two-year hiatus next month with the multi-disciplinary Dreaming of Kuanyin, Meeting Madonna. Fridae talks to the Singaporean composer and gay celebrity about the ideas and influences behind his magical communion of music, dance and video.
