"The Cheerleader" was commissioned by the Esplanade Theatres By The Bay (Singapore) for its 10th anniversary celebrations. Singaporean choreographers were asked to make a short work that pays tribute to someone. I invited LOW Kee Hong, former General Manager of the Singapore Biennale and Singapore Arts Festival, and former Deputy Director at Arts and Community at the National Arts Council of Singapore to play the cheerleader. His text was co-written by Sergiu Matis (Berlin), Kee Hong and I. Here, he pays tribute to his Singaporean public before he leaves Singapore for his current post at the West Kowloon Cultural District in Hong Kong.

"KNNBCCB" is an abbreviation of a well-known swearing line in the Singaporean Hokkien dialect.

It means "F*** Your Mother's Smelly C***".
