★★★★★ Theatre Review: God of Carnage 《杀戮之神》by Nine Years Theatre

Polite company quickly gives way to violent, yet cathartic truth in Nine Years Theatre’s God of Carnage. It begins, as so many civilised disasters do, with good intentions. A carefully drafted statement, coffee and cake, and adults determined to behave. In Yasmina Reza’s God of Carnage, politeness is not resolution but provocation, and in Nine Years Theatre’s staging in Mandarin, that provocation unfolds with a … Continue reading ★★★★★ Theatre Review: God of Carnage 《杀戮之神》by Nine Years Theatre

But perhaps that’s exactly the point. “Most of us know amoebas from biology lessons, and it’s kind of weird, kind of gross,” says filmmaker Tan Siyou. “It’s not a fluffy cloud or Hello Kitty, and I deliberately chose it as … Continue reading Film: An interview with ‘Amoeba’ director Tan Siyou about alienation, teen angst, and the shape of rebellion in Singapore
