Review: Journey to a Dream by Emergency Stairs and Zuni Icosahedron (Southernmost 2019)

★★★☆☆ (Attended 8/11/19) Intercultural presentation driving home the fact that no dream is achieved without sacrifice, while commenting on the cultural violence of colonialism and orientalism.  What does it take to achieve a dream? And for that matter, what happens when that dream necessitates the destruction of someone else’s? As the culmination of the 2019 Southernmost Festival, Journey to a Dream asks all these questions and more, … Continue reading Review: Journey to a Dream by Emergency Stairs and Zuni Icosahedron (Southernmost 2019)

Review: The Hawker by The Second Breakfast Company

★★☆☆☆ (Attended 13/11/19) Good attempt to immerse audiences in this novel concept, but let down by a central lack of purpose. The humble hawker centre is nothing short of a national icon. Representing our multicultural society with its mix of just about every kind of cuisine, along with its affordability and convenience welcoming diners of all class and backgrounds, it truly becomes a microcosm of Singapore … Continue reading Review: The Hawker by The Second Breakfast Company

Review: Lie With Me by Intercultural Theatre Institute

★★☆☆☆ (Attended 7/11/19) Graduating show from latest batch of ITI students a modern exploration of human relationships, but is marred by actors getting lost in iffy chemistry and a dragged out pace. Taking inspiration from Arthur Schnitzler’s 1897 play Reigen (La Ronde), Kaite O’Reilly’s Lie With Me was originally written for a group of graduating theatre students from London’s LAMDA in 2017, and has now been adapted for the … Continue reading Review: Lie With Me by Intercultural Theatre Institute
