Review: No Place by Square One Collective (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 15/1/20) Deciding one’s fate via a series of absurd games. What does the future look like? According to New York-based Square One Collective, a lot worse. Written and directed by Andrea Ang, No Place (almost reminds us of the a phrase no place like home’) imagines the world in 2075, on the brink of being physically impossible to live in. Three people – … Continue reading Review: No Place by Square One Collective (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

Review: Mak-Mak Menari by Bhumi Collective (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 17/1/20) Poignant docu-drama about sisterhood over a lifelong passion for Malay dance.  In the performing arts world, dancers are notorious for having a short career span, with many retiring before hitting middle-age. But for one group of dance enthusiasts, age is no barrier to their passion, as the makciks of Mak-Mak Menari continue to meet, rehearse, and perform together to this day. … Continue reading Review: Mak-Mak Menari by Bhumi Collective (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

Review: Kebaya Homies by The Necessary Stage (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

★★★★☆ (Performance attended 15/1/20) Irreverent trip down TNS’ past works featuring two of their best collaborators. The Necessary Stage’s (TNS) most well-known works aren’t always something you’d readily call ‘fun’, with topics such as poverty, nationhood, climate change and political detainees just a few of the issues they’ve covered across the years. So when they do get a chance to take a lighter concept and … Continue reading Review: Kebaya Homies by The Necessary Stage (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

LONDON – “I genuinely think in five to ten years we’re going to have several different possible Happys.” Tosh and Lou. 22 scenes. Other friends have come, got boyfriends and gone. So what? Tosh and Lou have each other. They’re not interested in becoming clichés. They’ll never be like other girls. This is love. This is enough. “You are becoming a parody, hun. You are … Continue reading In London’s (Off) West End 2020: Scenes with girls at the Royal Court (Preview)

Review: The Utama Spaceship by Spacebar Theatre (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 14/1/20) Likeable performance about the making of legends gets a little lost in space. As a fiercely competitive nation, Singapore has shown time and time again that it will continue to vie for the position of ‘first’ or ‘greatest’, constantly trying to prove ourselves in spite of our small size. But if there’s one place where to go boldly where no Singaporean … Continue reading Review: The Utama Spaceship by Spacebar Theatre (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

Review: ATARA – For you, who has not yet found the one by Reut Shemesh (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)

★★★☆☆ (Performance attended 14/1/19) Finding the means to be who you are in a society that suppresses one’s identity. With some of her closest family members converting to Orthodox Hasidic Judaism 15 years ago, choreographer Reut Shemesh found herself suddenly embroiled in a world of new rules. Men were not allowed to express any physical affection to women with whom they are not married to, preventing … Continue reading Review: ATARA – For you, who has not yet found the one by Reut Shemesh (M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2020)
