From Singapore to the World: An Interview with Faizal Abdullah and Nur Khairiyah on bringing ‘Siapa Yang Bawa Melayu Aku Pergi?’ to Edinburgh

A cosmopolitan city like London may be diverse enough to welcome people of all races and backgrounds from Europe, America and Asia, but what happens when a lesser known ethnic group shows up? How then do they claim space and establish their own identity, when their very existence remains virtually unknown by the majority of the population? For Singaporean Malay theatremaker Faizal Abdullah, that comes … Continue reading From Singapore to the World: An Interview with Faizal Abdullah and Nur Khairiyah on bringing ‘Siapa Yang Bawa Melayu Aku Pergi?’ to Edinburgh

★★★★☆ Review: Pompeii by Edith Podesta and K. Rajagopal (SIFA 2023)

Live film and theatre collide to form an elegiac reflection on trauma and connection. When theatre meets film, the latter is often done in service of the former, supporting the live performance by projecting footage that provides backstory or adds to the mood and thematic concerns. But what happens when you reverse that relationship, and theatre instead services film? That is the unusual approach that … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: Pompeii by Edith Podesta and K. Rajagopal (SIFA 2023)

★★★★★ Review: Famous Puppet Death Scenes by The Old Trout Puppet Workshop

Fictional puppet history showcases a myriad of forms, styles, and dark, adult-oriented humour that leaves a powerful sense of catharsis. For so many people, death can be such a terrifying prospect because it seems so mysterious, so sudden, and most of all, inevitable. After all, nobody escapes death – not even puppets. But given that puppets never truly die, it stands to reason that they … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Famous Puppet Death Scenes by The Old Trout Puppet Workshop

★☆☆☆☆ Review: NEW-ILLUSION by Toshiki Okada/chelfitsch (SIFA 2023)

Too much restraint turns an innovative breakup narrative into a snoozefest. In an edition of the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) that has focused so much on formal experimentation and exploration, it’s always exciting when a company like chelfitsch comes in with a new form they’ve been developing for several years, seemingly promising an original work that feels more established in style. Enter EIZO-Theater, … Continue reading ★☆☆☆☆ Review: NEW-ILLUSION by Toshiki Okada/chelfitsch (SIFA 2023)
