[THEATRE] [★★★★☆ PETER PAN IN SERANGOON ROAD] Our REVIEW of ‘Peter Pan In Serangoon Road’ by @wildricesg is now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “Peter Pan in Serangoon Gardens then, is a reminder of the sweet escapism we indulged in so often as children, and a chance for audiences to experience that again in the space of a theatre over the two hours we spend there. While it does acknowledge that we must all return to the real world one day, what it also does is encourage us to celebrate and cherish the moments we do have in our busy lives to be a child again and take a break from our worries and anxieties. A welcome return to form, Peter Pan soars with its evocative music, strong performances and cheeky, engaging and cohesive script, convincing audiences that magic can happen if you just believe.” Peter Pan in Serangoon Gardens plays from 21st November to 28th December 2019 at the Funan Theatre @ W!ld Rice. Tickets available from @sisticsingapore @wildricesg @thomasltw
[THEATRE] [SWEENEY TODD - THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET] Out REVIEW of ‘Sweeney Todd - The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street’ by @atlantistheatrical and presented by @singaporerepertorytheatre is Now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “this is a production of Sweeney Todd that captures the essence of the original while introducing an unexpectedly original take on a classic. In this world where it can be tempting to seek revenge through violence on all who’ve wronged us, Sweeney Todd is a timely reminder that violence begets violence, and that even the sweetest of victories often comes with a bloody price to pay.” Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street plays from 28th November to 8th December 2019 at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands. Tickets available from @singaporerepertorytheatre @baseasia @msleasalonga @jett_pangan
[THEATRE] [SWEENEY TODD - THE DEMON BARBER OF FLEET STREET] [AN INTERVIEW WITH LEA SALONGA AND JETT PANGAN] Now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “Celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, it’s a wonder that the Stephen Sondheim musical thriller has never before been brought to Singapore. Thankfully, Atlantis Theatrical Entertainment Group and the Singapore Repertory Theatre are here to resolve that, as Sweeney Todd hits the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands for a two week run, fresh from a critically-acclaimed run in Manila. Ultimately, both Lea and Jett do believe that Sweeney Todd is still very much relevant for the times, and remains a must-watch this theatrical season. Lea concludes: “All across the news, on TV on social media, we see powerful people acting with impunity and abusing their power. I wish we could say that Sweeney Todd was a museum piece and that we don’t see that happening anymore but we do, and that’s something the new generation can still relate to as they read about powerful people getting away with their misdeeds all the time, making this a musical that still feels so timely 40 years on.” Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street plays from 28th November to 8th December 2019 at the Sands Theatre at Marina Bay Sands. @singaporerepertorytheatre @atlantistheatrical @msleasalonga @jett_pangan @baseasia
[SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL] [WET SEASON] Our REVIEW of ‘Wet Season’ by @antchen is now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “Wet Season is a remarkable follow-up to Chen’s debut in Ilo Ilo, but taking on a far more mature topic and protagonist in dealing with the expectations and struggles of a middle-aged woman in the modern world. This is a film that examines a woman pushed to her limits, and showcases a rare sensitivity in filmmaking that brings out stellar performances from all its cast members, and reminds viewers that as many obstacles life throws into our path, even when we’re at the end of our rope, there is a brighter future that lies ahead still, as long as we’re willing to forge on till the clouds clear and the wet season draws to a close at last.” Photo Credit: Giraffe Pictures
Wet Season premiered in Singapore on 21st November 2019 as the opening film of the 2019 Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF). It will open commercially on 28th November 2019. @antchen @yeoyannyann @jialerkoh_ @wetseasonfilm
[THEATRE] [RUMAH DAYAK] Our REVIEW of ‘Rumah Dayak’ by @rupacolab and Written by @nessaanwar is now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “Yet, we understand that these youths are not entirely at fault, rather, a large part of the blame ultimately goes to society and the lack of support afforded to the underprivileged, leaving our ensemble so ingrained with the mindset that they are the ‘scum of society’. The aim of the safehouse then, isn’t so much to provide financial assistance, so much as to give these troubled youth the platform for building their own confidence and helping them believe in their own future, and that despite all the screw-ups they’ve had in life, remain equally worthy of a second chance as anyone else in the world. Rumah Dayak is a stunning, heart-wrenching debut from Rupa co.lab that confirms Nessa’s talent in staging social realism, and an urgent production that reminds us of the value of all lives, regardless of background or history.” Photo Credit: Back Alley Media
Rumah Dayak ran from 21st to 24th November 2019 at the Malay Heritage Centre. @rupacolab @nessaanwar @_alxmy @nabbycat @spongeriduan @toothskin @iamfarahlola @bibbycromo @aleerogers_ @budyn_idong @yamin.yusof @rusydinaafiqah
[SINGAPORE INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL] [REVOLUTION LAUNDERETTE] [AN INTERVIEW WITH MARK CHUA AND LAM LI SHUEN, DIRECTORS OF REVOLUTION LAUNDERETTE] Now out on Bakchormeeboy.com. “Having made their feature film debut last year at the 2018 Singapore International Film Festival (SGIFF), local filmmakers/musicians Mark Chua and Lam Li Shuen (collectively known as Emoumie) are back for the second year in a row with their sophomore film Revolution Launderette. Bigger, bolder and more ambitious than before, their new film deviates from their debut docu-fiction Cannonball, now presenting a work that’s less drifting, more narrative, and set in the ever fascinating city of Tokyo.
Revolution Launderette follows a young man Tomo, and his companion, Hiroko, who have hardly any money left to their name. Convinced that their misfortune is part of a larger, unexplainable joke, they agree to throw themselves into all the encounters that come their way with the singular hope of defeating this joke before it plays out. With tickets already sold out before tonight’s premiere, Mark and Li Shuen are certainly seeing a healthy viewership, and we picked their brains about their artistic process.” Revolution Launderette plays at the Oldham Theatre on 26th November 2019 at 9.30pm, as part of the 2019 Singapore International Film Festival. Tickets are sold out.
SGIFF 2019 runs from 21st November to 1st December 2019. @sgiffest
