Reflections on freedom and values in Singapore while a love triangle goes awry in Chong An Ong’s professional debut. One’s varsity years are often looked back on as the halcyon days of their lives, a time of freedom, of exploration and self-discovery, allowing you to realise who you are and what you want with little to no restrictions.

★★★☆☆ Review: National Memory Project by Teater Ekamatra

The future of Singapore is bleak, in a city that is all too willing to archive its past. While across the world, developing and using Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools in daily life is fast becoming the norm, it’s been especially worrying that local government entities have been leaping onto the AI trend and adopted it as the next big thing. From designing posters to interactive … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: National Memory Project by Teater Ekamatra

★★☆☆☆ Review: No Man’s Land by The Necessary Stage

The message is lost in this uneven and confusing exploration of masculinity, its title aptly representing the wasteland and vacuum of modern manhood. In 2025, men find themselves in an interesting new era of their gender, where stereotypes and roles are being questioned, and it seems that we now need new definitions, new ways of seeing and defining where exactly masculinity stands today. Promising that … Continue reading ★★☆☆☆ Review: No Man’s Land by The Necessary Stage

That’s the cheeky, heartfelt premise behind Grand Theft Theatre (Singapore), a new devised performance by Miriam Cheong and Adeeb Fazah, inspired by the original concept of the same name by Australian collective Pony Cam.
