Review: Flying Through Time by Resorts World Sentosa

Watching a show by Choi Chul Ki is a rather unique experience. Ever since breaking out with the well received JUMP, his shows have grown from cult status in Korea to worldwide phenomenons wherever they tour. This December, in Resorts World Sentosa’s latest original production, they’ve once again collaborated with the Korean master of non-verbal theatre (after Chef earlier this year) to transform the theatre into an epic, … Continue reading Review: Flying Through Time by Resorts World Sentosa

Is it December already? We can practically hear the Sleigh Bells ringing as we come running full speed ahead into the busiest holiday season of all, as people plan holidays and shop for last minute gifts.

Review: The White Girl dir. Jenny Suen and Christopher Doyle (SGIFF 2017)

There’s a cheesy quote that goes along the lines of ‘to know what someone fears losing, watch what they photograph.’ It’s not always accurate, but in the case of Jenny Suen’s directorial debut (co-directed with cinematographer legend Christopher Doyle), it’s a phrase that echoes throughout the film more than ever. The White Girl is a film about memory. Described as a homecoming for both Suen … Continue reading Review: The White Girl dir. Jenny Suen and Christopher Doyle (SGIFF 2017)

Review: Mama White Snake by W!ld Rice

It’s the end of the year, and frankly, it’s been a long one, one that’s left us somewhat drained, a little emotional, and wanting a break. It’s times like these you want to watch a show that’s entertaining, yet mature enough in its ambition to strike an emotional chord. Thankfully, Mama White Snake is just the right medicine the doctor ordered and ends off W!ld Rice’s 2017 … Continue reading Review: Mama White Snake by W!ld Rice
