The O.P.E.N. 2017: Spectres and Spectres LIVE by Zai Tang

Sound artist Zai Tang created the exhibition Spectres as an artistic audiovisual response to the Anthropocene epoch, a geological time when human activity has been the dominant influence on climate and the environment. Using an archive of field recordings in local natural habitats, Spectres revives the dead through the power of sound and digital imaging and sound visualisation techniques that warp and mutate the real into a nightmarish, desolate vision, … Continue reading The O.P.E.N. 2017: Spectres and Spectres LIVE by Zai Tang

The Studios 2017: With/Out (Review)

How do you remember a life? In 1999, The Necessary Stage presented Completely With/Out Character, where Singapore’s first openly HIV-positive man, Paddy Chew, performed a true, heartfelt monologue about his life, unfortunately passing away a few months after the end of the production. For those who have never heard of Paddy Chew however, his story remains unknown to them, and the chance to feel and experience it … Continue reading The Studios 2017: With/Out (Review)

We’re off to a late start this week, but here’s the first half of our reviews at the VAULT Festival this week! WRETCH by Interval Productions There’s a lot of debate on the state of homelessness and how to get people out of it, but few plays actually touch on what happens after.

M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Fight! Palast #MembersOnly by Peng! Palast

If I had to categorize or label Fight! Palast, I would consider it to be less of a performance and more of an experience. Minutes into the show, I found myself moulting out of my role as an audience and engaging with the Peng! Palast trio as just another participant in a communal activity with three hosts. One likes cooking, another likes exercising, the last … Continue reading M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Fight! Palast #MembersOnly by Peng! Palast
