[THE BANTER] [KUALA LUMPUR] [AN INTERVIEW WITH ACTOR GHAFIR AKBAR] Now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “Over the last five years, Ghafir Akbar has slowly but surely been making a name for himself in the Singapore theatre scene. Besides having garnered critical acclaim and our nod as Best Actor for his role in Singapore Repertory Theatre’s Guards at the Taj (2018), the Malaysian actor has worked closely with some of Singapore’s foremost theatre companies and who only seems to be getting better and better at his craft with every performance.
But then, who exactly is Ghafir, and amidst all the stories he’s a part of onstage, what’s his? We sat down with the man himself in his home city of Kuala Lumpur for a coffee, and listened to him before he embarked on yet another whirlwind series of shows in Singapore come 2020.” @ghafir
Catch Ghafir’s next performance in Singapore, in SRT’s The Lifespan of a Fact from 25th February 2020 at the KC Arts Centre. @singaporerepertorytheatre

[THEATRE] [M1 SINGAPORE FRINGE FESTIVAL 2020] [REVIEW] [NO PLACE] Our REVIEW of Not Place’ by @squareonecollective is now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “The door finally opens, and she walks towards the ‘Promised Land’. But as she leaves, we hear a rooster crowing, as if this is the beginning of a new day. We realise then that this is not a one-off game they play for a shot at eternal paradise, but simply the chance to live another day. No Place then illustrates the vicious cycle of life, and how we must continue to fight for survival each day, before ‘playing’ again the and again, right up till the bitter end.” Photo Credit: Juliana Tan
No Place played from 15th to 18th January 2020 at the Centre 42 Black Box as part of the 2020 M1 Singapore Fringe Festival.
The 2020 M1 Singapore Fringe Festival ran from 8th to 19th January 2020. @squareonecollective @m1sff
[THEATRE] [M1 SINGAPORE FRINGE FESTIVAL 2020] [REVIEW] [MAK-MAK MENARI] Our REVIEW of ‘Mak-Mak MENARI’ by @bhumicollective is now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “In its final scenes, the mak-maks come together to recite a number of mantras, focusing on their significance as extraordinary women in their own right, before performing a beautiful group number as one Mak-Mak Menari. By virtue of the group’s continued existence, they are subtly, unwittingly making a stand that tells the world they deserve to be seen and to pursue their passions, regardless of anything life has thrown at them, and will do so, for as long as their bodies allow them to.” Photo Credit: Mark Benedict Cheong
Mak-Mak Menari played from 17th to 19th January 2020 at the NAFA Studio Theatre as part of the 2020 M1 Singapore Fringe Festival.

[FIRST LOOK] [MUSEUM] [SINGAPORE ARTS MUSEUM REVEALS ARTIST IMPRESSIONS OF NEW BUILDING DESIGN] Now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “While it is still in the early stages of reconstruction, the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) has revealed artist impressions of its new building design, set to be open to the public once again come 2023. Led by the team of architects from SCDA, the new design aims to balance the building’s status as a gazetted national monument, while serving the needs of both artists and visitors for a modern world.
This will also mark the first time that SAM will undergo major works since it was opened in 1996. Aiming to fulfil its mission as a champion of contemporary art in Southeast Asia, the new building design also hopes to help the SAM continue excavating the future in art, examining and enhancing art’s relationship with society from a uniquely Southeast Asian perspective, through active dialogue and collaboration with artists, partners, and audiences.” The Singapore Art Museum will re-open in 2023. @singaporeartmuseum
[LONDON] [[EXHIBITION] [SUPER TROOPERS THE EXHIBITION AT THE O2] Now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “time.
Says curator Syd Moore: “It’s so difficult to put on something of this scale while still keeping the story intriguing to visitors. You think about how ABBA started out kitsch, and then went the other way, and found a happy medium eventually. This exhibition is really about contextualizing each album within the time of their release, and acknowledging how they were able to remain current, both musically and politically.” “We really are so excited to tell this story of how the most famous Swedish band got it all so right, and how no one could have imagined how when they won Eurovision, they would ever have been celebrated with an exhibition of this scale 45 years on.” ABBA: Super Troupers The Exhibition runs from 6th December 2019 to 31st August 2020 at The O2, London. @abba @abbasupertroupers @theo2london
[TELEVISION] [AN INTERVIEW WITH MARK WILLIAMS, STAR OF BBC’S FATHER BROWN] Now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. ““It’s such a privilege to have had the chance to star in such long running shows, and I can’t wait to see Father Brown eventually reaching its 100th episode,” comments Williams (the 8th season will mark its 90th episode). “In this day and age, daytime dramas usually equate smaller budgets, which equals less pressure to scramble for big shocking hits. We are allowed the time to tell a story, and we end up continuing to tell the stories of each of these characters, revealing different sides to them in each season, and that’s why I love being a part of this show so much.” Photo Credit: BBC Studios
Catch the premiere of Father Brown – Series 8 on January 24th 2020. Available on BBC First (StarHub Channel 502) and BBC Player. @fatherbrownseries @bbc @bbcplayer
