★★☆☆☆ Review: Thom Paine (Based on Nothing) by Edith Podesta, Yarra Ileto, and NAFA

Expansion of one-man show into ensemble piece becomes confusing mess. When Thom Pain (based on nothing) premiered in 2004, the one-man show received rave reviews and was described to be unlike anything else at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe that year. It’s a rather odd but endearing sounding script, wherein the long-suffering protagonist recounts the story of a bee sting, a boy with a dog that … Continue reading ★★☆☆☆ Review: Thom Paine (Based on Nothing) by Edith Podesta, Yarra Ileto, and NAFA

★★★★★ Review: Nom Nom Cinema presents The Grand Budapest Hotel

A lavish gustatory experience to accompany a night at the cinema. Even in an age of Netflix and other streaming services, where you can pause the show at any point, get comfortable in your shorts and tee combo, and load up on snacks, there’s still something special about experiencing the magic of film in the theatre with others.

★★★★★ Review: SAME SAME by Dame de Pic/Cie Karine Ponties & Temporary Collective

But different. Modern day office work can be a slog – from the day to day commute to the facetious performance we put on in front of our colleagues, to the droll routines and the pressure of climbing the corporate ladder. As a result, burnout is almost always lurking around the corner, threatening to rear its head and bring us crashing down. But perhaps there … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: SAME SAME by Dame de Pic/Cie Karine Ponties & Temporary Collective

Merely being a minority in a country can feel like a daily battle, constantly waking up and dreading the little microaggressions or worse one might face in the day. Not only that, but as a Black person in America, one also bears the gravity of Black history in one’s very existence, carrying it in the body, … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: aMoratorium by J’Sun Howard

With each passing year, it feels as if we’re plunged into an increasing number of major conflicts, whether the Russo-Ukrainian War, or the resurgence in attacks from both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Violence is all around us, and it can become easy to fall into a state of unrelenting pessimism, as we become … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Motherland by Very Shy Gurl by fendy
