SIFA 2017: Inspiration for the Soul (Open Homes Week 3 Review)

It’s the final weekend of Open Homes, and this time around, we stuck around in familiar territory in the East.

SIFA 2017: Becoming Graphic by Sonny Liew and Edith Podesta (Review)

Sonny Liew initially seems like an odd choice to put onstage as part of an international arts festival. After all, the 42-year old Eisner Award winning comic artist has close to no experience in theatre. But if there’s anyone who can be counted on to bring out the drama of comics and adapt it for the stage, it’s his collaborator and Life! Theatre Award winning … Continue reading SIFA 2017: Becoming Graphic by Sonny Liew and Edith Podesta (Review)

Review: Forbidden City by Singapore Repertory Theatre and Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

Marking its 15th anniversary since its debut in 2002, the Esplanade and Singapore Repertory Theatre have brought back one of Singapore’s best and most well-loved musicals of all time to the stage – Forbidden City.

Review: Deaf by Split Productions

In moulding the future of our nation, have we forgotten that our children are only human too? Using abstract, physical theatre, Split Productions’ latest piece Deaf is a bold attempt to bring up and discuss such issues with the education system and society as a whole, taking its name from how students’ cries for help too often fall on deaf ears.
