M1 Patch! 2018: The Ordinary and The Unspectacular《平淡无奇》 (Review)

Magnifying the sense of isolation in the elderly through slow theatre. As we go through the rush of everyday, fast-paced living, it can be difficult to find the space and time for reflection, to slow down and truly think about where we are and what we are going through. Perhaps then, to gain insight and perspective, one should turn to those who do have the time … Continue reading M1 Patch! 2018: The Ordinary and The Unspectacular《平淡无奇》 (Review)

Review: 13.13.13 by Theatreworks

An ambitious new play about modern love.

Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: One Metre Square – Voices From Sungei Road (Review)

Torn down but not gone, the voices of Sungei Road live on in this piece of verbatim theatre. 10 July 2017. For most people, it was an ordinary day. But for the vendors of Sungei Road, that’s a date that marked the end of their lives as they knew it, the official day the historic Thieves’ Market was closed for good, and its inhabitants displaced … Continue reading Singapore Theatre Festival 2018: One Metre Square – Voices From Sungei Road (Review)

Review: Here and Beyond by Toy Factory

A Toy Factory triumph in this adaptation of the only O-Level Literature Singapore text. Adapting a piece of literature from one medium to another can be challenging. The language alone already poses difficulty, such as how translating prose to drama runs the risk of either being weighed down by the length of the text or losing the original essence of the language altogether. Toy Factory’s Here … Continue reading Review: Here and Beyond by Toy Factory

Review: A Samsui Love Story by Project Plait X Tung Lok (Singapore Food Festival 2018)

Melding good food, a good story and good dance into a single palatable performance. While theatrical dining experiences have become increasingly popular in the last few years, mixing dance and dining is a road far less travelled, perhaps owing to how abstract contemporary dance can be, making it difficult to form an immediate link to the menu at hand. But with years of experience under … Continue reading Review: A Samsui Love Story by Project Plait X Tung Lok (Singapore Food Festival 2018)

KUCHING, SARAWAK – From an outsider’s point of view, Kuching feels like a world apart from bustling Singapore. Instead of the daily grind of office workers commuting into the CBD, the roar of cars speeding along a highway, the Sarawakian capital is quiet, at peace with the world as its inhabitants go about their lives amidst the lush greenery of the rainforest. The truth is … Continue reading Rainforest Fringe Festival 2018: Festival Opening Weekend
