★★★★☆ Theatre Review: GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS by Wild Rice

By D.Y. Lesbian voices are front and centre in Wild Rice’s new verbatim play, providing a distinctly Singaporean context to queer storytelling with unapologetic confidence.  The title of Wild Rice’s newest play is a declaration: the repetition of a single word, GIRLS, three times over. Just in time for Singapore’s unofficial Pride month, the play dons the colours of the lesbian flag and sports an … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Theatre Review: GIRLS GIRLS GIRLS by Wild Rice

Cj Hendry and IMBA Theatre open juju world in Singapore, the fun, inflatable playground for kidults, as follow-up to wildly successful Flower Market

The first thing you notice about juju world is the overwhelming, oversaturation of yellow, so total it behaves like architecture. Yellow does not sit within the exhibition, it defines it. The space is flooded in it: staff dressed in yellow uniforms, inflatable yellow flowers erupting from the ground, and giant inflatable jujus attached to structures like climbable soft sculptures. Visitors move through oversized yellow slides … Continue reading Cj Hendry and IMBA Theatre open juju world in Singapore, the fun, inflatable playground for kidults, as follow-up to wildly successful Flower Market

An Interview with Joanna Dong on risk taking and reinvention in her immersive sound and sculpture performance ‘BIG BIG small small’

For Joanna Dong, better known as a jazz vocalist and local musical star, the shift into experimental, interdisciplinary performance isn’t a reinvention so much as a return to something unfinished. Long before she became widely recognised through television and large-scale performances, she was already drawn to work that resisted neat categorisation, pieces that blurred sound, movement, and space into something less easily named. “Going into … Continue reading An Interview with Joanna Dong on risk taking and reinvention in her immersive sound and sculpture performance ‘BIG BIG small small’

Zarina: Directions to My House (6 June – 1 August 2026), the institution’s Annual Special Exhibition, is the most comprehensive presentation of her work in Southeast Asia to date, bringing together … Continue reading Art: Zarina – Directions to My House at STPI

★★★★★ Circus Review: A Simple Space by Gravity & Other Myths (Flipside 2026)

Ingeniously simple concept that reminds us of the joy of circus, stripping is back to its essentials and delivering on a rollicking good time. When most people think of circus, they imagine massive spectacle: towering big tops, elaborate costumes, dazzling lighting rigs, and performers transformed into larger-than-life characters. Contemporary circus after all, often leans towards ever-greater scale, bigger stunts, more ambitious concepts, and increasingly elaborate … Continue reading ★★★★★ Circus Review: A Simple Space by Gravity & Other Myths (Flipside 2026)
