There are no travellers wandering through Li Huayi’s landscapes. No fishermen, scholars or tiny figures climbing the mountain paths that populate so much … Continue reading Art: Li Huayi – Unity of Man and Nature at Kwai Fung Hin

★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Radicalisation of Mrs. Mary Lim-Rodrigues by Wild Rice

A precise, unsettling dissection of what happens when rules become more important than the people they are meant to serve. Duration: 90 minutes The Radicalisation of Mrs. Mary Lim-Rodrigues at times feels like a paradox: it is a play about the consequences of failing to see another person fully, yet it deliberately keeps its audience at a certain remove and emotional distance from its characters. … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Radicalisation of Mrs. Mary Lim-Rodrigues by Wild Rice

★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Secret Drawer by Instant Café Theatre Company

New documentary theatre work excavates Malaysia’s buried history one memory at a time. There is a cleverness to The Secret Drawer that becomes apparent almost immediately: the production makes its black-box space feel like somewhere secret. Designed by producer Tan Cher Kian and directed by Jo Kukathas, the stage resembles an underground lair or private archive, with objects and figures surrounding Ling Tang and Lim … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Secret Drawer by Instant Café Theatre Company
