BANGKOK, THAILAND – There is something a little daunting about reaching Dib Bangkok’s location for the first time. Down a narrow, nondescript alleyway, the GrabBike we’re on slows, hesitates, and seems to take a moment to register what lies ahead before riding off. A large, gated building emerges, its blackened exterior giving little away, with only a narrow opening through which to enter the premises … Continue reading Dib Bangkok: Bangkok’s newest art museum brings the unseen, the unsaid and the unknown into focus with opening exhibition ‘Invisible Presence’

Bakchormeeboy Awards 2025: SG60 brings restagings and reimaginings as theatre grapples with a ‘milestone’ year

It’s been sixty years since Singapore’s independence, a milestone that reminds us how young this country still is, and how much artistic possibility should still lie ahead. Yet 2025 has felt like a strangely uncertain year for theatre, one where our artists have found themselves caught between commemoration and complacency. Not quite an anniversary year, but treated as one nonetheless, it became a season where … Continue reading Bakchormeeboy Awards 2025: SG60 brings restagings and reimaginings as theatre grapples with a ‘milestone’ year

Arts of Hong Kong: An Interview with Hong Kong film and theatre power couple Rosa Maria Velasco and German Cheung Ming Yiu

Rosa Maria Velasco has been to Singapore many times, but always in a hurry. The city, for her, has long been a place of arrival and departure; rehearsals folded into performance schedules, nights measured in curtain calls rather than conversations. But this visit feels different. She is here not to perform, but to meet audiences, to talk, to listen, and to understand what it means … Continue reading Arts of Hong Kong: An Interview with Hong Kong film and theatre power couple Rosa Maria Velasco and German Cheung Ming Yiu

Preview: OH! Moonstone Art Walk – Everything Changes, Everything Stays the Same

In Singapore, change is often framed as progress. New buildings rise, neighbourhoods shift, and familiar streets quietly become something else.

Open House returns with a new edition of its much-loved artwalk, and this time, it’s tucked away in a location most people have probably never noticed. OH! Moonstone … Continue reading Preview: OH!

Review: Falling Falling Falling Falling by SRT’s The Young Company

Modern love is chaos, but somewhere in the mess, we still find connection. What is love? The question hangs, rhetorical, almost mocking, over the opening moments of Falling Falling Falling Falling, as the young ensemble strides down a catwalk-like runway, phones up, posing for selfies as if this were the “catwalk of fame.” It’s a clever visual choice by director Daniel Jenkins, immediately situating us … Continue reading Review: Falling Falling Falling Falling by SRT’s The Young Company
