M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Skin Tight by Ah Hock and Peng Yu

Have you ever felt constricted in your shirt and blazer and then imagined the need to peel away those layers and freestyle in a zentai suit? Skin Tight answers that question, and the exquisite choreography of Ah Hock and Peng Yu will give you a glimpse into what those escapist desires could signal for you, and more.

M1 Fringe Festival 2017: Under My Skin by Alessandra Fel

It’s an interesting phenomenon how most children aspire to match or surpass their parents, only to reminisce and wish for their childhood once more the moment they become a parent themselves.

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
