The Studios 2018: How Did The Cat Get So Fat? (Review)

It’s been 11 years since How Did The Cat Get So Fat? was last staged and its message of a hollow pledge still rings true.

Dapunta Hyang: Zai Kuning’s Magnificent Ship Sails Home at Last to Theatreworks

There’s something impossibly magnificent about the way Singaporean artist Zai Kuning’s gigantic skeleton of a ship hangs in 72-13. Entering the exhibition space, an air of the mystical and awe-inspiring emanates forth when witnessing the handwoven beast in person, as the obelisk-like structure towers over you and stretches out and across the entire room.
