★★★☆☆ Review: Re:Assembly by Drama Box

The anatomy of tragedy, seen from multiple angles. So much of the time, Singaporeans are so focused on looking out for themselves, that they become blindsided to the darker, more problematic aspects of society, so much that they aren’t even aware when others are suffering in silence. That’s something that starts as young as one’s school days, and the earlier one becomes aware of it, … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: Re:Assembly by Drama Box

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Kaspar by Edith Podesta and NAFA (Review)

Language is a prison in this cerebral play about oppressive society.  In line with her penchant for cerebral scripts heavy on text, director Edith Podesta’s efforts at bringing Austrian writer Peter Handke’s Kaspar to life with the help of NAFA’s BA Theatre students is a valiant one, no easy feat given its absurdist, non-linear flow and often nonsensical, non-sequitur language. Loosely inspired by the story … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Kaspar by Edith Podesta and NAFA (Review)
