Death is something many cultures struggle to talk about openly, yet it’s also one of the few experiences every human being shares. A new multidisciplinary arts production Bardo invites audiences to reflect on that mysterious space between life and death through theatre, music, and visual art. Bringing together symbolic installations, live performance, and an original soundtrack performed live, the work explores transformation, memory, and the unknown in a deeply immersive way. Joining us to share more about this production are producer and director Chin Wai Kong, and artist and music director Samm Koh.

Art can be many things. A form of expression, a source of comfort, even a way of connecting with the world when words are hard to find. That idea sits at the heart of Seni Mekar: Art in Bloom, a new exhibition by FriendenArt featuring the works of 18 young artists, many of whom are living with disabilities and rare conditions. FriendenArt itself was inspired by the artistic journey of co-founder Yap Sook Yee’s son, Branden, who lives with Spinal Muscular Atrophy or SMA. What began as a way to support and showcase his creativity has since grown into a wider platform celebrating the talents of other artists with disabilities and rare conditions. We catch up with Sook Yee, to find out more.

What does it mean to be human, especially in a world where humans no longer exist? That is the question at the heart of Teater Normcore: Odisi Romansa, a new science fiction theatre production that blends live performance with digital technology, striking visual elements and even puppetry. Set in a distant future, the story follows two androids trying to make sense of memory, love, and longing. It is poetic, a little mysterious, and very much rooted in emotion. Presented by Moka Mocha Ink and written and directed by Ridhwan Saidi, we find out what's in store from two of the performers bringing this story to life, Lee Qi and Aliya Marissa.
