ST/LL What a lovely show!! No dialogue but the music, movement and visuals was stunning enough to keep me at the edge of my seat! Loved this! #shirotakatani #dumbtypecollective #ryuichisakamoto #sifa2019 (at Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByXpHJ0ntq0/?igshid=1qgkvehzvmzlm

Beware of pity. So glad I caught this for #Sifa2019. Shows the impact of people giving in to the instant gratification they get from doing something good, but failing to see that their kind intentions without committing to seeing the whole act through actually causes more harm. As what @flymeaway_ aptly observed, “some people do the right things, but don’t do it right.” #esplanade #theatre (at Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNdz4sHOO4/?igshid=fwih3ap8toky

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

Thank you @checkpointtheatre and @sifa_sg for the opportunity to play this noble, fractured character. #Repost @checkpointtheatre ・・・ Introducing Brendon Fernandez as Tim Rodriguez in DISPLACED PERSONS’ WELCOME DINNER. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Tim is a private military contractor. He is hired by OEA (Organisation for Emergency Aid) as a security consultant for Displaced Persons Camp Ezra. A US Army veteran of both Iraq and Afghanistan, Tim’s military stance is sometimes at odds with that of his civilian colleagues. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I was drawn to the idea of the career soldier, because it’s such an alien concept for me. What motivates a person to join the military, knowing – perhaps even hoping – that you might be deployed to a warzone? What convictions allow you to bear arms against other human beings? What toll does it take on the human psyche, and how does one cope?” – @brendon_fernandez ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We’re 3 weeks away from opening night! Follow us to find out more about the characters in DISPLACED PERSONS’ WELCOME DINNER, and the actors portraying them. 😉 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #displacedpersonswelcomedinner #sifa2019 #checkpointtheatre https://www.instagram.com/p/BxAjS_NHZj-/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rf56m39egoro
