Review: Flying Through Time by Resorts World Sentosa

Watching a show by Choi Chul Ki is a rather unique experience. Ever since breaking out with the well received JUMP, his shows have grown from cult status in Korea to worldwide phenomenons wherever they tour. This December, in Resorts World Sentosa’s latest original production, they’ve once again collaborated with the Korean master of non-verbal theatre (after Chef earlier this year) to transform the theatre into an epic, … Continue reading Review: Flying Through Time by Resorts World Sentosa

Review: The Imaginarium of Disco David by ANDSOFORTH

There are many ways to enjoy the art of dining. And one of them, at least according to ANDSOFORTH, is to literally bring art to dining. Inspired by similar UK outfits such as Gingerline, ANDSOFORTH producers Stuart Wee and Emily Png presented the latest instalment in their series of immersive dining experience: The Imaginarium of Disco David, taking diners straight back to the 70s as they groove their way … Continue reading Review: The Imaginarium of Disco David by ANDSOFORTH

Review: NINAGAWA Macbeth by The Ninagawa Company (presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay)

It’s hard to believe that a single play can hold the power to leave such an impression on an audience member that it can even be considered life-changing. But this is in no way an exaggeration of how the unique experience of watching a play by the late Yukio Ninagawa. The thunderous applause and standing ovation a Ninagawa play receives is completely warranted. NINAGAWA Macbeth was … Continue reading Review: NINAGAWA Macbeth by The Ninagawa Company (presented by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay)

Beyond new contemporary works, the Esplanade’s annual Kalaa Utsavam also regularly features traditional arts in its lineup, and 2017 is no different.

Review: Overtime by Myle Yan Tay and Nathaniel Mah

Earlier this month we were pleasantly surprised by a highly competent production of Jean Tay’s Boom by a group of students from Yale-NUS. We thought this was the kind of thing that comes by only every so often, but evidently we were wrong, having proverbial lightning strike twice with Myle Yan Tay and Nathaniel Mah’s new musical tackling office life: Overtime. Overtime is the rare … Continue reading Review: Overtime by Myle Yan Tay and Nathaniel Mah

Kalaa Utsavam 2017: Khwaab-Sa – Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream by The Company Theatre (Review)

Khwaab-Sa opens with a spotlight on lithe, petite dancer Ronita Mookerji as the iconic spirit Puck. In the background, a musician clad in a unicorn mask assaults our ears with loud electronic music, as Mookerji writhes and vibrates. Grinning madly, she laughs silently before impishly back-flipping across the stage, a moon projection making her lunacy obvious. This is Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream as you’ve never seen … Continue reading Kalaa Utsavam 2017: Khwaab-Sa – Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream by The Company Theatre (Review)
