The best of local Chinese arts and cultural offerings come together under one roof at Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre’s annual Cultural Extravaganza. The month-long showcase takes a look at our dynamic and evolving Chinese arts scene through debut productions and original works in music, dance, and theatre.
Making its premiere at this year’s edition is Master White Dragon, directed by Cultural Medallion recipient Goh Boon Teck. Using a temple in Sembawang as its backdrop, the theatrical comedy follows a DJ who gets involved with a journalist after he gets mistaken as the reincarnation of White Dragon Prince. There’s also Hao Hao Studio’s original musical, Moonlit Lovers of the Durian Grove, about a forbidden romance set in durian plantations. It’s like Romeo and Juliet, but with a bit of magical spirit.
Elsewhere, The Teng Ensemble and Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre are teaming up for a music and dance showcase, while the Singapore Chinese Orchestra and Singapore National Youth Chinese Orchestra will stage respective concerts. For the full list of events, check it out here. All of the programmes are Culture Pass SG eligible.
