In Singapore’s Civic District, the Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is set to open Crosscurrents: Masterpieces of Mughal, Safavid, and Ottoman Art from the Musée du Louvre, an exhibition that does more than bring together rare objects from one of the world’s greatest museums.

Art: Zarina – Directions to My House at STPI

At STPI in Singapore’s Robertson Quay, Zarina’s world unfolds not as biography in the conventional sense, but as a sustained act of translation: of life into line, memory into geometry, and displacement into print. Zarina: Directions to My House (6 June – 1 August 2026), the institution’s Annual Special Exhibition, is the most comprehensive presentation of her work in Southeast Asia to date, bringing together … Continue reading Art: Zarina – Directions to My House at STPI

★★★★★ Dance Review: Planet [wanderer] by Damien Jalet & Kohei Nawa (SIFA 2026)

Awe-inspiring, hypnotic dance-installation, that takes audiences on an existential odyssey through a world that’s hostile, hauntingly beautiful, and beyond our control. Some performances tell stories, but Planet [wanderer] creates a world. Surreal, unnerving, and at times profoundly unsettling, Damien Jalet and Kohei Nawa’s latest collaboration unfolds less like a dance performance than a waking dream. Playing as part of the 2026 Singapore International Festival of … Continue reading ★★★★★ Dance Review: Planet [wanderer] by Damien Jalet & Kohei Nawa (SIFA 2026)

★★★★★ Theatre Review: Hedda Gabler by National Theater Company of Korea (SIFA 2026)

Lee Hyeyoung delivers a masterclass performance in Park Jung-hee’s hypnotic, sexually charged reimagining of Ibsen’s classic, now transformed into a suffocating psychological thriller of a K-drama. Before we see anything in the National Theater Company of Korea’s Hedda Gabler, we hear a gunshot. It tears through the darkness with such violence that the audience visibly jolts. And from that very first moment, director Park Jung-hee … Continue reading ★★★★★ Theatre Review: Hedda Gabler by National Theater Company of Korea (SIFA 2026)
