With the reopening of theatres, the Studios is taking on a hybrid format this year to bring some theatre magic to your homes and to the iconic durian-shaped Esplanade. Treat your inner drama queen or king to a front-seat view of live performances that had to take a backseat last year, as well as new, exciting ideas that will finally see the light of day. Based on the theme 'play', the theatre series aims to ignite "a sense of enjoyment, continuity, flow, an interactivity and a live-ness, of creation, and an optimism for what is to come".
Mark your calendar for online film screenings such as Chuang Xu's Twinkle Dammit! which features Margaret Leng Tan, and an Esplanade commission by INDEX, #THEAT[RE]framed. Plays like Dragon Ladies Don't Weep, Lost Cinema 20/20, and By Design will take centre stage on-ground. Tickets to these plays are currently sold out, but watch this space for more updates including additional digital programmes.
