Review: Sink or Swim dir. Gilles Lellouche (French Film Festival 2018)

Synchronized swimming drama moves with its tale of friendship and camraderie. Gilles Lellouche’s Sink or Swim opens with a familiar quote, along the lines of a “square peg never being able to fit into a round hole.” Even from its poster alone, one might be tempted to laugh out loud at the almost comical sight of eight confused men in swimwear, some hairy, some rotund, some … Continue reading Review: Sink or Swim dir. Gilles Lellouche (French Film Festival 2018)

Review: Marie & The Nutcracker by ANDSOFORTH

Intelligent toys, a mouse king and sexy candy make this version of The Nutcracker a fun Christmas romp. From the outside, one would never that there was an entire world of wonders hidden away at Andsoforth’s space on the top floor of a nondescript building. But as Andsoforth has proven time and time again, magic can happen if you just believe (and have the skills to put it … Continue reading Review: Marie & The Nutcracker by ANDSOFORTH

Review: Bitten – Return To Our Roots by Thong Pei Qin and Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara

Blood ties run deep as this production gets bitten by the history bug. Dengue fever may seem like an unexpected and morbid inspiration to create an entire show around, but for Bitten: Return to Our Roots creators Thong Pei Qin and Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara, it’s an affliction that doubled as a metaphor and the beginnings of an ongoing exploration into their past, present and future. Inspired … Continue reading Review: Bitten – Return To Our Roots by Thong Pei Qin and Dr Nidya Shanthini Manokara

Kalaa Utsavam 2018: Bali by Adishakti Theatre (Review)

Adishakti Theatre delivers both monkey business and human emotion in equal amounts in this surprisingly powerful fringe show. The Hindi epic The Ramayana is an account of the heroic deeds performed by the hero Rama, often considered a ‘champion of dharma’, or righteous deeds. But as we all know, morality exists in shades of grey, and when put to close examination, one comes to realise … Continue reading Kalaa Utsavam 2018: Bali by Adishakti Theatre (Review)
