Preview: Hold On To Your Butts at The Improv Company’s Nook @ Aliwal

65 million years ago, dinosaurs ruled the earth… 29 years ago, a movie about dinosaurs came out that just plain ruled. Hot on the heels of the release of Jurassic World: Dominion comes a phenomenon that occurs each time a hit blockbuster premieres – a parody. Only this time, they’ll be performing a parody of the film that started it all – Jurassic Park. This … Continue reading Preview: Hold On To Your Butts at The Improv Company’s Nook @ Aliwal

★★★★☆ Review: Caino e Abele #1 (Corpo a Corpo) by Compagnia Zappala Danza (cont·act Contemporary Dance Festival 2022)

A history of violence, and the start of forgiveness.  William-Adolphe Bouguereau’s painting The First Mourning is so named for its depiction of Adam and Eve discovering the body of their son Abel, slain by his own brother Cain, and marking the first human death in the Bible. What is striking about this image is to see Abel arched over in death, completely vulnerable and stretched … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Caino e Abele #1 (Corpo a Corpo) by Compagnia Zappala Danza (cont·act Contemporary Dance Festival 2022)

★★★☆☆ Review: ASYLUM by Intercultural Theatre Institute

Going mad over the isolation of quarantine. During the pandemic, all of us have experienced what it’s like to be locked down, and isolated from society. In being forced to see the same faces day in, day out, settle into a fixed routine in a highly confined space, and little contact with the outside world, it’s enough to make anyone go mad. Exploring this idea, … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: ASYLUM by Intercultural Theatre Institute

★★★★☆ Review: Vilangkuppannai (Animal Farm) by Agam Theatre Lab

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Since it was first published in 1945, George Orwell’s Animal Farm has become one of the most renowned allegories in the English language, still studied in schools to this day, and ever relevant with its hard-hitting truths about the fallibility of humans and the difficulty of subverting established power systems. Receiving countless stage adaptations, the … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Vilangkuppannai (Animal Farm) by Agam Theatre Lab

★★☆☆☆ Review: Hitting (On) Women by A Mirage

Strong direction can’t patch the pre-existing holes in this dated look at lesbian relationships. It’s June, Pride Month for most other countries, and the month of Pink Dot in Singapore, an event where the nation continues to push for ‘the freedom to love’. Existing as a queer person in Singapore remains unusual and generally undiscussed in public, and positive portrayals of LGBTQ+ people media generally … Continue reading ★★☆☆☆ Review: Hitting (On) Women by A Mirage
