‘The Serangoon Gardens Techno Party of 1993’
If you’ve been a goody two shoes all your life, The Serangoon Gardens Techno Party of 1993 offers a taste of what it’s like to live a little dangerously. And if you were once part of Singapore’s wilder crowd, this production might just strike a familiar chord.
Set in 1993, the play follows teenager Candice as she dives into the gritty underbelly of Singapore’s nightlife in the ’90s. Think punk-fuelled mosh pits, illicit parties, police raids and an encounter with a charming American boy – complete with a stash of happy pills.
Produced by local theatre company Wild Rice, The Serangoon Gardens Techno Party of 1993 is bold, provocative and surprisingly introspective. Beneath the chaos and rebellion lies a sharp commentary on youth, freedom and the cost of defiance. With its mature themes and strong content, this one’s recommended for audiences aged 18 and above.
