Right of the Soil, a book launch and reading by Yong Shu Hoong organised by Ethos Books, The Arts House, 4 Nov, 2pm
In his sixth collection of poetry, two-time Singapore Literature Prize winner, Yong Shu Hoong, contemplates how a person is invariably bound to the land on which he first sets foot. Exploring the four fundamental elements of air, water, fire and earth, Right of the Soil navigates questions about belongingness and birthright. Aside from reading new poems, Yong will be sharing about his creative meshing of heartfelt ruminations with world-building, and how the infamous 10 Courts of Hell in Haw Par Villa inspired an integral section in this latest addition to his oeuvre.

Cerita Cinta (Love Story) by Akulah BIMBO SAKTI (I am the MAGIC BIMBO), 1 – 4 Nov, Esplanade Theatres on the Bay
For Roslan, whose dispassionate wife’s routine includes cooking Asam Pedas for him and their two children, food is one of the few things that add colour to his life. Like the dish, his temper tends to rise and hit boiling point, all too quickly sometimes. Gentle and affectionate one moment, he singes and sears the next.
At home, there is unspoken love, and there are painful scars. There are responsibilities, and there is the ideal of what a home should be. How will the cycles of joy and sadness, resentment and resignation be broken when they are always teetering on the brink and on rinse and repeat? What are his limits of control?
First staged in 1995, Cerita Cinta marks playwright and director Noor Effendy Ibrahim’s return to Malay theatre since Bilik Ahmad Berdaki (2009). Presenting an unabashed view of the threads that bind a family, it examines the dysfunctionality of an atypical Malay household.
