That is the experiment at the heart of collaborators Jeffrey … Continue reading Review: SAME-SAME by Jeffrey Tan, No Strings Attached and Diverse Abilities Dance Collective

vOilah! 2020: An authentic France Singapore bake by Tiong Bahru Bakery with the Kaya Croissant

When one thinks of French pastries, croissants are probably one of the first to come to mind. And as much as Singaporeans continue to mangle the pronunciation of it (kwa-son, not craw-sawnt, or other variants), over the years, the flaky, buttery pastry has made its way to become a café staple, and a firm place in our heart. As part of the 2020 vOilah! France … Continue reading vOilah! 2020: An authentic France Singapore bake by Tiong Bahru Bakery with the Kaya Croissant

★★★★☆ Review: De Gaulle dir. Gabriel Le Bomin

French patriotism on the big screen in this celebration of the former French president. With the need to strike a careful balance between entertainment and respect for the subject matter without coming off as trite, patriotic films aren’t the easiest thing to make. Yet with Gabriel Le Bomin’s De Gaulle, the biopic seems to have captured a riveting image of the former French president’s courage and elevates … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: De Gaulle dir.

Review: godeatgod by Lasalle College of the Arts

Students consider the impact and relevance of god and religion in the face of unimaginable crises.  When playwright Haresh Sharma wrote godeatgod, it was written in response to the 9/11 attack in the USA, capturing the spirit of the fear and uncertainty felt in the wake of the incident, with even faith and religion itself becoming difficult to seek comfort in. It is through the lens … Continue reading Review: godeatgod by Lasalle College of the Arts
