★★★★☆ Review: A Thousand Ways Part III – An Assembly by 600 Highwaymen (SIFA 2021)

Last leg of the journey. After being cancelled in the midst of the Heightened Alert phase, we were filled with disappointment that we would likely never catch the final instalment of 600 Highwaymen’s three-part show A Thousand Ways. But perhaps, rather miraculously, the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) pressed on, and somehow found a way to revive the show, allowing those who had started … Continue reading ★★★★☆ Review: A Thousand Ways Part III – An Assembly by 600 Highwaymen (SIFA 2021)

Review: (un)becoming by Sim Yan Ying “YY” & Nabilah Said

Generational trauma passed down from mother to daughter, but to what end? There is a sagely line in Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest that states that ‘All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy.’ For most people then, they engage in an active process of ‘unbecoming’, actively rejecting mothers’ advice and closeness, in order to become an independent agent. But is … Continue reading Review: (un)becoming by Sim Yan Ying “YY” & Nabilah Said

Watching BODY X The Culprit for the … Continue reading Review: BODY X The Culprit (George Town Festival 2021)
