★★★★☆ Review: The Grizzlies dir. Miranda de Pencier

★★★★☆ Review: #THEATRE by INDEX

Discover the intimate secrets of the Esplanade Theatre, as told through the ephemeral language of light, sound and space. Under restrictive live performance rules, it was probably only a matter of time before we would see a show with no actors at all.
