This March, WOAW Gallery presents Truth Be Told, a duo show featuring 13 recent works by Larissa De Jesús Negrón and Kristína Bukovčáková in the gallery’s Singapore space. Although permeated with a sense of unreality through fantastical dreamscapes, strange creatures, or distorted figures, their distinctive visuals are held together by sincerity and literalism. Often overlapping aesthetically and technically, the works discuss disparate yet existential subjects … Continue reading Art What!: WOAW Gallery Presents ‘Truth Be Told: a duo show by Larissa De Jesús Negrón and Kristína Bukovčáková’

Arts of Hong Kong: The Doctor by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre

What is the value of “truth”? Is there a universal truth? A medical incident triggers contentions between medical ethics and religious faith. Heated debates on gender, race, class and identity sparked; maelstroms of difficult emotions harboured – will it all come out in the wash?  The play dissects the furtive surface of our murky world, throwing down the gauntlet in search of truth for both cast and audience alike. The Doctor is a breakthrough contemporary drama that Robert Icke adapted … Continue reading Arts of Hong Kong: The Doctor by Hong Kong Repertory Theatre
