M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Above the Mealy-Mouthed Sea by Unholy Mess (Review)

Memory can be a fishy thing. Let’s get this straight right off the bat – Above the Mealy-mouthed Sea is an odd kettle of fish. The premise is simple enough – emerging from a four panel frame with a hole resembling a black silhouette (perhaps representative of the holes in our memories), performance poet Jemima Foxtrot plays herself, recalling going up to a pub in Somerset, taking … Continue reading M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: Above the Mealy-Mouthed Sea by Unholy Mess (Review)

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: The Adventures of Abhijeet by Patch & Punnet (Review)

Colourful adventure that lacks purpose. Xenophobia is one of the bigger issues that has plagued Singapore in recent years, with continually increasing rates of anti-foreigner sentiment rearing its ugly head. For youth theatre company Patch & Punnet, it’s prime material for their newest production – a fantastical, thinly veiled allegory for Singapore and the assumed troubles that foreigners go through in living here.

M1 Singapore Fringe Festival 2019: yesterday it rained salt by Bhumi Collective (Review)

Sailing an emotional ship to wreck. Directed by Soultari Amin Farid, choreographed by Norhaizad Adam and with a script by Nabilah Said, yesterday it rained salt is perhaps the most salient culmination of Bhumi Collective’s ethos yet, combining text, dance and performance to create a work rooted in themes of identity.
