Review: Potong by Teater Ekamatra

Memory, mothers and manhood are placed on the chopping block in Teater Ekamatra’s first show of the season.

Review: Alter Egos by Pink Gajah

There’s very good reason why Sharda Harrison has named her incubation platform ‘Magic Laboratory’ – sitting in the Harrisons’ front yard, sipping on drinks and chatting with other attendees, there’s some kind of magic that’s coursing through the air as we wait for their latest showcase to begin.

Review: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute

You’ve never seen Ibsen quite like this in ITI alumnus Sankar Venkateswaran’s stripped down, physical-focused interpretation. When We Dead Awaken is often considered one of Henrik Ibsen’s most unusual plays. Set in a spa town amidst snowy mountains and mysterious women, Ibsen’s final play was also his most oneiric, along with being his darkest, in dealing with themes of unhappy marriages, artistic death and actual mortality. … Continue reading Review: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute

Preview: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute

Henrik Ibsen is perhaps one of the greatest playwrights. But amongst his many celebrated plays, there still remain a couple that are so rarely staged, dwarfed by the success of his better known works such as A Doll’s House or An Enemy of the People. In the first show of 2018 from the Intercultural Theatre Institute’s (ITI) latest graduating batch, the students will be presenting Ibsen’s final written … Continue reading Preview: When We Dead Awaken by Intercultural Theatre Institute
