Preview: Singapore’s maritime history comes alive at Singapore HeritageFest 2026

This May, that connection takes centre stage as the Singapore HeritageFest 2026 returns with a sweeping, islandwide celebration of maritime life: past, present, and still unfolding. Running from … Continue reading Preview: Singapore’s maritime history comes alive at Singapore HeritageFest 2026

An Interview with actress Nathania Ong on finding her own voice and reclaiming Éponine in Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular

In Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular, scale is everything: a full orchestra onstage, sweeping projections, and a staging language that expands the musical’s visual and sonic reach. Yet within that enormity, the production’s emotional force hinges on something far more intimate. And doing exactly that is the character of Éponine. Portrayed by Singaporean performer Nathania Ong, the character emerges not as a peripheral tragic … Continue reading An Interview with actress Nathania Ong on finding her own voice and reclaiming Éponine in Les Misérables – The Arena Spectacular

It is not something that easily invites a rating. It asks instead for time, attention, and a willingness to sit inside repetition—something that feels … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Dance Review: Fase, Four Movements to the Music of Steve Reich by Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker

★★★☆☆ Theatre Review: La Luna by Teater Ekamatra

A lively but unfocused stage adaptation of La Luna struggles to balance satire and substance, losing the impact and weight of its source material. Adapting a film for the stage is never about simple reproduction. Theatre demands transformation, with a rethinking of form, rhythm, and storytelling. But that transformation must still serve the story. The most successful adaptations do not replicate but reinterpret with purpose. … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Theatre Review: La Luna by Teater Ekamatra
