Pangdemonium's Dragonflies had a good script and an amazing cast. A great cautionary story about what the world might be like if we ignore the key social and environmental issues challenging us today. Thanks to Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA) for commissioning this new play by Pangdemonium, and congratulations to the cast and crew! #sifa2017 #sgarts #sgtalent #sgtheatre [Photographs by Singapore International Festival of Arts]

Commissioned by Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), Becoming Graphic was an experimental and innovative piece that sought to meld two-dimensional drawings and live theatre. This rich, multi-layered work starts with a comic featuring a superhero called Green Bolt, drawn by acclaimed cartoonist Sonny Liew. It also includes the process of going from page to stage as part of a radio play, as well as the growing-up years of Liew himself, presented through recorded interviews with Liew and his family members. The performance wasn't always easy to watch, as it delves into themes of ageing and mortality. But this is what good theatre is about - it challenges you, makes you think deeper about issues, and broadens your perspectives. My thanks to the cast and creatives behind Becoming Graphic. #BecomingGraphic #sifa2017 #sgarts

Open Homes is a unique theatre experience indeed! As part of this year’s Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), the doors of 30 homes are open for audiences to enter. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know our fellow Singaporeans a little better. By listening to their stories, we sympathise with their struggles, and also celebrate their triumphs. Attended an Open Homes session in #Tampines on Sunday. Entitled "Pieces that Fit a Home", it was facilitated by Ahmad Musta'ain, Vice-President of the Singapore Drama Educators Association. To my host, Hairianto - thanks for giving us a glimpse into your life and moving us with your stories. Check out more Open Homes this weekend: https://www.sifa.sg/sifa/registration/open-homes #sifa2017 #sgarts Photo credit: SIFA

I guess everyone needs a pretentious influencer shot at least once in her Instagram profile. The O.P.E.N. has already started and the events I've been so far are amazing 😍😍 it's not too late yet to go grab your tickets now as there are still many ongoing programmes! Especially the films. WATCH THE FILMS. Ticket holders are entitled to 6 films (cheaper than student price), and most of it sounds amazingly good. Check out their synopsis and register at sifa.sg/theopen/ #sifa2017 #sifasg #sifa2017isenchantment #sgtheatre #sgarts #throwback #Ipoh

Despite the messy lines and smudged ink, the dance between pen and paper always satisfies my need for imagination. The thrill of figuring out different perspectives and putting them together into a flat surface is like an addiction. Just like theatre, and well, many other art forms, art challenges both the artists and the audiences. So being a #brokeartstudent #asusual why would I miss the chance to savour a variety of art forms, with one single ticket for $28 (SISTIC actually increased their fee D: #why)? So hurry and get your tickets at any SISTIC counter~ Do jio me along for some of the films because I will be going alone :’) You can check out all the performances at sifa.sg/theopen/! P.S: This is not an elaborate post for me to find friends to go together okay. #sifa2017 #sifasg #sifa2017isenchantment#sgtheatre #sgarts #illustration #doodle (at Aliwal Arts Centre)
