The modern classic of clown theatre returns to give Singapore a taste of Russian winter once more, exploring solitude, despair and hope in a singular, brilliant snowstorm of an experience. Clowns are often mistaken for entertainers when, in truth, they are philosophers. Their language simply happens to be slapstick.

Esplanade’s The Studios 2026: An Interview with Mark Teh on retelling legends of national heroes in Five Arts Centre’s ‘Fragments of Tuah’

Hang Tuah has occupied a singular place in the Malaysian imagination for centuries. The legendary warrior appears in school textbooks, literature, films and political speeches, often held up as the embodiment of loyalty, courage and duty.
