Since then, the group has continued to pursue their passion for the arts, and in 2025, … Continue reading Review: The Troupe by Birds Migrant Theatre

Students grapple with trauma and pain in a physically-demanding work led by Noor Effendy Ibrahim. Back in 2011, Noor Effendy Ibrahim performed a durational work titled Dancing with the Ghost of My Child at the Substation, in which he engaged in a form of ritualistic self-flagellation and masochism for an unspecified amount of time. For those familiar with Effendy’s work, this visceral image is par … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Dancing with the Ghost of My Child by Noor Effendy Ibrahim, Ruby Jayaseelan, ANTARMUKA & Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts

To us, the season of snow takes on almost a mythic quality to it, where the only way to … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: The End of Winter by Siren Theatre Co.
