It is not easy to take a 400-year old kun opera piece and make it relevant to today’s audience. Yet that is what director Goh Boon Teck from home-grown company Toy Factory Productions has done. At the closing weekend of Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), I watched local production, A Dream under the Southern Bough. Part 2 of a trilogy, this play follows the adventures of disgraced naval officer Chun Yu Fen’s adventures into Ant Kingdom. It was at times enchanting, at times dramatic. Definitely an interesting and different experience of Chinese theatre. Hope to be able to catch part 3 at SIFA 2020! #SIFA2019 #toyfactory #toyfactorysg #sgtheatre https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMioXmnW4L/?igshid=nrjw6p390dh
