★★★☆☆ Dance Review: Tempo by Kalle Nio and Fernando Melo (SIFA 2026)

Moments stretch, reverse and repeat through magic, circus and dance in this frustratingly slow meditation on time.  Time is supposed to be objective, but more often than not, it is deeply relative; stretching, compressing and slowing according to emotion, attention and memory. Presented as part of the 2026 Singapore International Festival of Arts, Tempo takes that idea and turns it into a performance experiment, where … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Dance Review: Tempo by Kalle Nio and Fernando Melo (SIFA 2026)

Theatre Review: The Lighthouse by Patch Theatre (SIFA 2026)

Surreal, interactive series of experiential light installations that turn physics into magic, ideal for younger audiences. For those who have never quite learnt about reflection and refraction in science class, interactions with light can feel like pure magic. That sense of innocent mystery is exactly what Patch Theatre harnesses in The Lighthouse, an experiential promenade work that guides audiences through a series of interconnected rooms … Continue reading Theatre Review: The Lighthouse by Patch Theatre (SIFA 2026)

Review: Now You See Me Live by Base Entertainment Asia

A familiar kind of magic bringing comfort through a shared experience. There is a moment, early in Now You See Me Live, where the show gestures toward a familiar question: how does cinematic magic: all speed, spectacle, and misdirection, translate into something that feels immediate and alive on stage? Playing at Sands Theatre, the live adaptation of Lionsgate’s Now You See Me film franchise arrives … Continue reading Review: Now You See Me Live by Base Entertainment Asia

Review: Playing The Hand by Darren and Jerryl

Taking control of the cards life deals you. I’ve often thought that magic is all smoke and mirrors, and the day I gained the knowledge that almost all magic can be explained logically, via misdirection and trick props, it became far too easy to be cynical, and think that magic is for kids. But that’s precisely what separates a good magic show from others, where … Continue reading Review: Playing The Hand by Darren and Jerryl

Waking up at the crack of dawn, the group gathers to warm up before a 20km jog around the mountainous, high altitude area, regardless of rain or shine. … Continue reading Review: Drum Tao 2019 – Rhythm of Tribe presented by Mediacorp VizPro
