Sometimes, life throws you one of the best coincidences you can hope to find. Before we begin this review, here’s a little backstory: after catching a show at the Esplanade, we were walking past the Esplanade underground area where dancers usually practice and spotted a large group of dancers rehearsing.

Review: Angkat by Teater Ekamatra

The word ‘angkat’, in Malay, literally means to ‘carry’. In the context of Teater Ekamatra’s final show of 2017 of the same name, ‘angkat’ specifically refers to the concept of adoptive mothers (or ‘mak angkat’), and attempts to shed a light on these women’s own insecurities and relationships with their adoptive children.
