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

Review: Sharul Channa Is A Pottymouth

Sharul Channa fully embraces her title in this no holds barred, completely unfiltered performance. Sharul Channa occasionally receives a request from her father for jokes he can share at the temple. We can only hope that he’s never tried, because just about all of them would be far too inappropriate to tell there. From making light of mourners at a funeral to unflinchingly talking about … Continue reading Review: Sharul Channa Is A Pottymouth
