★★★★★ Review: Oo-Woo by The Necessary Stage

Love is sometimes about making difficult choices. Every Singaporean knows about the koel bird – even if you’ve never seen it, you’ve certainly heard it in the wee hours of the morning, crying ‘oo-woo!’ repeatedly at the top of its lungs. But what exactly is it trying to convey in those cries? From writer Raimi Safari and director Mohd Fared Jainal, the koel is the … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Oo-Woo by The Necessary Stage

★★★☆☆ Review: Here Where You Were by Matter.Less

A forum theatre primer on how to begin processing suicide. The forum theatre format has long been used as a form of empowerment, giving audience members the power of choice to change the narrative of a play when invited to step in and make major decisions. Often, this has been used to address key social issues, and give ordinary viewers the realisation that they do … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Here Where You Were by Matter.Less

★★☆☆☆ Review: Thom Paine (Based on Nothing) by Edith Podesta, Yarra Ileto, and NAFA

Expansion of one-man show into ensemble piece becomes confusing mess. When Thom Pain (based on nothing) premiered in 2004, the one-man show received rave reviews and was described to be unlike anything else at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe that year. It’s a rather odd but endearing sounding script, wherein the long-suffering protagonist recounts the story of a bee sting, a boy with a dog that … Continue reading ★★☆☆☆ Review: Thom Paine (Based on Nothing) by Edith Podesta, Yarra Ileto, and NAFA

★★★★★ Review: SAME SAME by Dame de Pic/Cie Karine Ponties & Temporary Collective

But different. Modern day office work can be a slog – from the day to day commute to the facetious performance we put on in front of our colleagues, to the droll routines and the pressure of climbing the corporate ladder. As a result, burnout is almost always lurking around the corner, threatening to rear its head and bring us crashing down. But perhaps there … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: SAME SAME by Dame de Pic/Cie Karine Ponties & Temporary Collective

Haunted by history and healing through community and care. Merely being a minority in a country can feel like a daily battle, constantly waking up and dreading the little microaggressions or worse one might face in the day. Not only that, but as a Black person in America, one also bears the gravity of Black history in one’s very existence, carrying it in the body, … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: aMoratorium by J’Sun Howard

★★★☆☆ Review: Motherland by Very Shy Gurl by fendy

Visceral horror of watching violence unfold in a state of paralysis. With each passing year, it feels as if we’re plunged into an increasing number of major conflicts, whether the Russo-Ukrainian War, or the resurgence in attacks from both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Violence is all around us, and it can become easy to fall into a state of unrelenting pessimism, as we become … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Motherland by Very Shy Gurl by fendy
