SUMMARY:Bawang Putih Bawang Merah
DESCRIPTION:Delve into the intricate layers of a Nusantara folktale in the reimagination of Bawang Putih Bawang Merah—a captivating exploration of courage\, challenging societal norms\, and the unexpected twists of fate. \n  \nThis darkly humorous and witty production breathes new life into the well-known tale\, focusing on the equally enchanting stepsisters\, Bawang Putih and Bawang Merah. Amidst the shadows of loss and grief\, these rival siblings embark on a journey of self-discovery and liberation\, guided by magical mothers\, rebellious royalty\, and a fabulous fairy godmother. \n  \nCan Bawang Putih and Bawang Merah\, armed with unshakeable determination and guided by unconventional allies\, break free from the constraints of patriarchy and monarchy? This audacious adaptation challenges traditional narratives of happily ever afters\, damsels in distress\, and knights in shining armour; reminding us that we can be the heroes of our own stories. \n  \nProduced by one of Singapore’s theatrical powerhouses\, Teater Ekamatra\, Bawang Putih Bawang Merah assembles a stacked creative team\, many of whom were behind the award-winning production Bangsawan Gemala Malam (2022): Ridhwan Saidi\, a Malaysian writer and filmmaker making waves in the Singapore theatre scene; Mohd Fared Jainal\, a theatre stalwart known for his sharp directorial vision and innovative set design; Safuan Johari\, a multi-hyphenate musician and composer; and TUBE Gallery\, costume designers of the acclaimed musical Fatih – The Prince & The Drum. The star-studded cast includes Nabila Huda\, Aidli ‘Alin’ Mosbit\, Fir Rahman\, Munah Bagharib\, Rizman Putra\, Siti Hajar Abdul Gani\, and Siti Khalijah Zainal.

SUMMARY:Mari Kita Main Wayang
DESCRIPTION:Hijinks and humour abound in Mari Kita Main Wayang (Let’s Stage A Play)! \nThis play-within-a-play follows a group of Peranakans who come together to stage Empat Bini\, an ambitious script that is set within the illustrious walls of a royal court. However\, all is not as it seems—as the play unfolds\, a gripping narrative of power gone awry among the players comes to light. \nPresented in Baba Melayu and peppered with familiar expressions\, Mari Kita Main Wayang is a love letter to the rich Peranakan cultural heritage deeply rooted in Singapore. It pays homage to the under-appreciated art form of Peranakan theatre\, while highlighting the significance of having this heritage represented on stage. Witness the revival of this tradition and be transported to a bygone era where the past meets the present. \nFirst staged in 1994\, this adaptation of Felix Chia’s script is comedic\, unique and utterly captivating—look forward to witty banter\, dramatic storytelling and masterful performances by the cast!

SUMMARY:ANGEL ISLAND
DESCRIPTION:Between 1910 and 1940\, as new immigrants flowed through the immigration station on Angel Island in the San Francisco Bay\, Chinese immigrants faced massive discrimination because of America’s earliest racist immigration legislations. This captivating one-act music-theatre performance tells their stories. \nComposed by Huang Ruo\, the music of ANGEL ISLAND is inspired by the Chinese poems carved on the wooden walls of the detention centre on Angel Island\, and the events and stories emerging from the era in which the legislations were passed. Tackling perennial and global issues of xenophobia\, sexism\, and systematic racial and gender discrimination\, ANGEL ISLAND weaves a story of immigration\, discrimination\, and confinement – bringing history into the reality of our current lives. Performed by Del Sol Quartet and Taipei Chamber Singers.

SUMMARY:Spiral by Chok Kerong and Vanessa Fernandez (Singapore)
DESCRIPTION:Producer-composer Chok Kerong and singer-songwriter Vanessa Fernandez join forces for the first time as creative partners\, putting together the soulful and introspective genre-bending album\, Spiral. \nHaving spent the last two decades developing their individual careers independently of each other\, the duo decided that the time was right to collaborate\, leveraging each other’s sensibilities as songwriters and performers. The result is Spiral\, an eight-track album that serves as a meditation on life’s joys and sorrows. With its illuminative lyrics and seamless blend of hip-hop\, classic soul\, rock and gospel\, the record is a testament to their effortless chemistry. \nThis performance is a rare chance to see the Australia-based Vanessa Fernandez (also known to many as Vandetta) in action. Fans of Chok Kerong can also look forward to something different from the Mosaic Associate Artist\, whose previous concerts at Esplanade featured instrumental music with his various ensembles. Alongside the bright talents in the duo’s newly formed band as well as guest performers weish and Kim Olsen\, Kerong and Vanessa are set to stun in this one-night-only concert at the Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade. \nBand members \nEuntaek Kim (keyboards and guitar)\nDru Chen (guitar and background vocals)\nBen Poh (bass)\nAaron James Lee (drums and percussion)\nJosiah Suthan (percussion)\nEmmeline Koh (background vocals)\nLisa Haryono (background vocals and keyboards)\nOwen Li (background vocals) \nGuest artists\nweish (vocals)\nKim Olsen (vocals)
