A restaging is a rare event, and for a company to present their work overseas rarer still. For The Theatre Practice (TTP), Liao Zhai Rocks! is nothing short of a … Continue reading Strange Tales From A Theatre Studio: An Interview with Kuo Jian Hong, Joanna Dong and Sugie Phua of The Theatre Practice’s Liao Zhai Rocks!

Suddenly, she recalls: … Continue reading Always Every Time: An Interview with Ground Z-0 Artistic Director Zelda Tatiana Ng

NUS Arts Festival 2019: A Disappearing Number (Review)

Math is hard. Math and theatre initially seem like odd bedfellows. After all, math is grounded in undeniable realities, while theatre tends to take liberties with that, shuttling between the abstract and absolute to produce art. Yet, with 2019 NUS Arts Festival opening show A Disappearing Number, director Edith Podesta attempts to prove the theorem that math and theatre can coexist, with surprising parallels that can be applied … Continue reading NUS Arts Festival 2019: A Disappearing Number (Review)
