Review: An Alpine Symphony In Images + Korngold Violin Concerto by Singapore Symphony Orchestra

Opening the Singapore Symphony Orchestra’s new season, as the lights dimmed in the Esplanade Concert Hall, a hush of anticipation blankets the audience. As SSO CEO Kenneth Kwok delivered his opening address, we were promised a season launch that would go beyond music, and bring with it a sense of reflection, resilience, and renewal, as he reminded us of music’s enduring ability to nourish and … Continue reading Review: An Alpine Symphony In Images + Korngold Violin Concerto by Singapore Symphony Orchestra

★★★☆☆ Review: Scenes From The Climate Era by David Finnigan and Ellison Tan

Myriad views of the climate disaster and the desperation and depression that emerges in its rise. How does one frame a play about climate change and still add to the already burgeoning conversation? Adapted for a Singaporean production, Australian playwright David Finnigan’s Scenes From The Climate Era is keenly aware of the weighty and convoluted nature of the climate crisis, and how difficult it can … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Scenes From The Climate Era by David Finnigan and Ellison Tan

★★★☆☆ Review: Request Programme at Singapore Art Museum

A meditative act on how the innocuous daily routine can be made strange and even a little disturbing. In Singapore, life can feel like a chore. Settling into a daily routine can be comfortable, but its banality can also become utterly depressing in a city that keeps on keeping on. Meaning and connection can seem elusive, drowned out by the sameness of each night. It’s … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Request Programme at Singapore Art Museum

★★★☆☆ 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: Dreamplay – Asian Boys Vol. 1 by Wild Rice

Flamboyant, unabashed examination of the gay scene in Singapore investigates the origins and evolution of the queer condition over the decades through scenes both campy and poignant. A dildo as a magical compass. Trans women throwing shade and competing in a pageant. Coolies and samsui women vying for the affections of other men while reciting Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’. These are just some of … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Dreamplay – Asian Boys Vol. 1 by Wild Rice

★★☆☆☆ 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
