Review: Whispering Tiger, Hidden Essence by Grain Performance & Research Lab

A series of choreographic movements with nowhere to go. Age is just a number, at least, that seems to be the mantra adopted by Grain Performance & Research Lab, who aim to prove that anyone of any age can remain strong and resilient. Touting their cast spanning five generations (aged 18 to 84), Whispering Tiger, Hidden Essence sees Grain artistic director Beverly Yuen achieve her … Continue reading Review: Whispering Tiger, Hidden Essence by Grain Performance & Research Lab

★★★★☆ Review: I Am Seaweed by MASHH (Mm and Something Happens Here)

How much is too much when we live in a culture where exhaustion and burnout is worn like a badge of pride? In a world where we’re constantly told to work hard if we want to make our dreams come true, countless hustlers have made it their life’s mission to do all they can to make it happen, going into overdrive to work around the … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: I Am Seaweed by MASHH (Mm and Something Happens Here)

★★★☆☆ Review: Eclipse (2025) by The Necessary Stage

Learning to leave history behind to find the light at the end of the trauma. For most Singaporeans, India’s Partition is stuck firmly in the past, and having taken place in a land so physically distant from our island city, seems like it would have little impact on us in the present day. But for those with relatives or ancestors living in India or Pakistan, … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Eclipse (2025) by The Necessary Stage

★★★★☆ Review: Commission Continua by Noma Yini

A history of violence, corruption and cover-ups, buried in paper and archives. Of all the places to discover violence, one would least expect to find it within the four walls of a tiny basement office of archival documents. But that is precisely what Noma Yini does with their work Commission Continua, which made its world premiere last week at the M1 Singapore Fringe Festival. Last … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Commission Continua by Noma Yini

★★★★☆ Review: WePushTheSky by Qabila

Incendiary play that shows you exactly how people are pushed to extreme measures. It is only human to want to connect, to reach out and share in the friendship of others. It makes sense then that in Qabila’s WePushTheSky, playwright and performer Nisha Abdulla greets us when we first enter the theatre, her voice warm and welcoming as we settle into our seats. Behind her, there … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: WePushTheSky by Qabila

Review: The Troupe by Birds Migrant Theatre

Ambitious attempt at tackling issues of xenophobia and the ever-growing refugee crisis. When we last saw Birds Migrant Theatre at the 2023 M1 Singapore Fringe Festival, the team of migrants and theatre enthusiasts had put on a deeply personal show about their lived experiences as foreign workers in Singapore. Since then, the group has continued to pursue their passion for the arts, and in 2025, … Continue reading Review: The Troupe by Birds Migrant Theatre
