SUMMARY:Let’s Play! The Art and Design of Asian Games
DESCRIPTION:Games are among humanity’s oldest shared experiences – a source of joy\, challenge\, and connection for thousands of years. In Asia\, they have developed in remarkably diverse ways\, from the lively\, fast-paced rhythms of mahjong and congkak to the contemplative strategy of go and chess. They have entertained and educated\, reflected power and status\, and acted as metaphors for life. \nThis exhibition explores the rich history of Asian games and the role they have played in shaping culture\, identity\, and community. Some travelled widely\, taking on new forms and meanings across borders. Others became tools for mental training or expressions of artistic ideals. Even today\, they remain at the frontier of innovation – as seen in the rise of artificial intelligence. \nMany of the games on display are also works of extraordinary beauty and craftsmanship. As you explore the exhibition\, we invite you to discover how the act of play continues to inspire\, evolve\, and connect people across time and place. \nLet’s Play! incorporates playable interactives\, outdoor installations\, collaborations with schools and local game associations\, and a diverse line-up of programmes and talks.

SUMMARY:Talking Objects
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents Talking Objects\, its latest exhibition at the dedicated collection gallery. Drawn from the museum’s collection\, the exhibition explores how everyday objects – commonplace items\, familiar scenes and everyday representations — become vessels of memory\, meaning\, and emotion when seen through the lens of artists and their practices. Beyond materiality\, Talking Objects considers how even the most everyday forms can become instruments of expression. In the hands of artists\, the ordinary takes on new significance\, inviting us to look again at the world around us. \nFeaturing works by widely recognised artists from across Asia\, including Alwin Reamillo\, Suzann Victor\, and Christine Ay Tjoe\, Talking Objects showcases a diversity of artistic voices and practices\, while offering insights into SAM’s ongoing research into the material and conceptual languages of contemporary art in the region. These artworks resonate with shared human experiences while remaining grounded in the particularities of place and personal history. The exhibition invites visitors to slow down\, reflect\, and rediscover the quiet power of objects in shaping how we see and understand the world.  \nTalking Objects is housed alongside The Living Room in SAM’s collection gallery. Together\, they create a reflective space where personal and collective experiences converge\, offering insights into individual narratives and broader social and cultural conditions.

SUMMARY:The Living Room
DESCRIPTION:Singapore Art Museum (SAM) presents its latest exhibition The Living Room\, as part of the final chapter of Collection Project: Communicating\, Convening\, Commoning—a long-term collaboration between SAM\, Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA)\, and Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA). Housed at SAM’s refreshed collection gallery\, the exhibition brings together performance-based works from the collections of all three institutions to explore how performances – fleeting by nature – can be remembered\, reactivated\, and carried forward through different forms of engagement. At its heart is a central question: What happens to a performance when it ends? Where does its liveness go\, and how might we make sense of what remains? \nFeaturing works by renowned local and international artists such as Ezzam Rahman\, Chuyia Chia\, Kim Garam\, Brian Fuata and others\, The Living Room presents a breadth of practices spanning live performances\, video\, installation\, performance traces\, re-enactments\, and artist-led activations. Taking inspiration from the living room as a space for gathering and presence\, the exhibition invites visitors into an evolving environment that is brought to life through activation\, conversation\, and exchange. By bringing together works grounded in lived experience\, The Living Room opens new ways of understanding how performance lives on through objects\, memory\, interaction\, and shared encounters. \nThe Living Room is showcased alongside Talking Objects at SAM’s collection gallery. Together\, they create a reflective space where personal and collective experiences converge\, offering insights into individual narratives and broader social and cultural conditions.

SUMMARY:Engage with history through art at Temple\, National Gallery Singapore’s first rooftop installation integrating kinetic motion and sound
DESCRIPTION:Embark on a meditative experience at Temple\, a new participatory artwork by Vietnamese-American artist Tuan Andrew Nguyen. Commissioned by National Gallery Singapore for its Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission series and presented as part of Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention\, Temple invites visitors to reflect on history and contemplate the impact of war through a multisensorial experience that blends kinetic motion and sound – underscoring the Gallery’s mission to connect the art of Singapore and Southeast Asia to the world and foster critical dialogue on global issues through art. \nFeaturing bells and mobiles crafted from recovered and defused unexploded ordnance (UXO) from the Vietnam War\, visitors are encouraged to strike the defused shells\, gongs\, and chimes\, creating a meditative soundscape. Through this transformation of weapons of war into instruments of peace\, Nguyen inspires ideas of karmic balance\, reincarnation\, and the memories embedded within materials\, offering a powerful lens for healing and reconciliation. \nTemple is the eighth edition of the Ng Teng Fong Roof Garden Commission.

SUMMARY:Peacock Power: Beauty and Symbolism Across Cultures
DESCRIPTION:With its dazzling feathers and spectacular tail\, the peacock has long symbolised beauty\, power\, and divinity across Asia. For centuries\, its striking form has captivated artists and devotees alike\, inspiring works that range from sacred images to everyday adornment. \nThe peacock motif travelled between cultures. Peranakan art\, shaped by the convergence of multiple influences\, is the starting point for this journey. Treasures from the National Collection and important lenders explore the bird’s presence in a broad range of artistic disciplines. Each object invites visitors to consider how a motif moved between regions and contexts\, revealing the networks that connect peoples and how artistic traditions evolve through exchange. \nThe exhibition presents these connections through colourful displays\, interactive stations\, and lively programmes. A new work by artist Ernest Goh explores the peacock in the context of its symbolism\, cultural heritage\, and ecology.

SUMMARY:Lai Yu Tong: The Dogs
DESCRIPTION:ShanghART Singapore is pleased to present Lai Yu Tong’s first solo exhibition with the gallery\, The Dogs\, opening on 30 August 2025. Featuring a new series of works that centres around his encounters with a pack of stray dogs\, the artist invites us to reconsider our relationship with entities that exist on the fringes of our environments\, while reflecting upon his own experiences and interactions with the dogs across several months. \nDrawing upon observations of the present\, Lai’s practice examines the overlooked and neglected. Everyday objects and subjects such as cars\, crows\, hands\, and chairs feature as motifs across his works that are cast within the stories and scenarios that he creates around them. By looking at something for extended periods of time\, he brings out alternative perspectives on the familiar. Recently\, his gaze fixates upon the stray dogs that he encounters around a forested area close to where he lives. Their existence as wild\, untamed and shy creatures that roam under the shadows of Singapore intrigues him. \nIn a highly developed and controlled society\, the presence of these dogs introduces a degree of unpredictability\, even instilling a sense of danger. Initial encounters with them ended with Lai retreating out of fear. However\, following multiple visits where he would observe\, photograph and sometimes feed the dogs\, the fear that he felt eventually shifts into a kind of love\, as he forms a connection with these misunderstood creatures. \nStorytelling makes up a big part of Lai’s approach\, manifesting in forms such as drawing\, sculpture\, and sound. In these latest works\, Lai seeks to retell his encounters with these enigmatic creatures through intimate pieces of drawings and collages on various modest everyday materials — cardboard\, wood\, and paper. He simultaneously draws and obscures the dogs\, playing with techniques of erasure and transparency that render his subjects as ghostly figures and impressions. Such loose methods of representation alludes to the elusiveness and placelessness of the subjects he draws\, whilst also allowing them to take on other identities and connotations. \nThrough a selection of two-dimensional works\, a sculpture\, a sound piece and a performance\, the gallery space is transformed into a site of encounter between the audience and the dogs. Bridging the distance between us and them through Lai’s own experiences\, the exhibition encourages visitors to empathise and identify with the beings that live on the edges of our environments; out of sight and away from what we are familiar with.

SUMMARY:Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega: Nafasan Bumi ~ An Endless Harvest
DESCRIPTION:Artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega explore how the demands of a relentless extraction\, from plantations to electric futures\, cast a shadow on the very “breath of the Earth.” \nElia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega: Nafasan Bumi ~ An Endless Harvest imagines the afterlives of materials that persist long after their use\, outlasting our time in this age of excess. Plantations\, mining sites\, and the promise of electric vehicle technologies become places where the stories of tomorrow are formed\, bound by Indonesia’s extractive economies whose resources sustain the pulse of today’s global demand. \nFrom the need for oxygen to nickel’s role in lithium-ion technologies\, from the cutting down of forests to palm oil’s many applications\, these materials represent the state of the Earth’s breath (Nafasan Bumi) today\, strained by extraction. The planet’s natural rhythms no longer move freely but are drawn into the labour of industry\, breathing through the exhaustion of a harvest that never ends. \nAcross the exhibition\, labour appears as both memory and speculation\, a rhythm shared by humans\, machines\, and the living world. Conveyor belts\, once emblems of the industrial revolution and the mechanisation of labour\, now hum to the pulse of tropical plants\, creating a continuous cycle of productivity. Nearby\, sculptures cast in palm oil wax evoke the stillness of carved stone yet resist ideals of perfection\, creating a dreamscape haunted by plantation residues. Others\, made from discarded palm waste\, hold the tension between fragility and endurance. \nTogether\, these artworks trace how human and non-human life have been enmeshed in cycles of ceaseless pursuit of productivity\, asking: What will the future shaped by these material conditions? Like the recurring haze that engulfs Indonesia\, Singapore\, and Malaysia during the southwest monsoon\, the Earth’s breath\, shadowed by an endless harvest\, lingers as a reminder of what extraction conceals and refuses to let us forget. ~

SUMMARY:Metamorphosis: Curated by Syed Muhammad Hafiz | Featuring Jaafar Latiff\, Anniketyni Madian\, Meta Enjelita and Khairulddin Wahab
DESCRIPTION:Cuturi Gallery is delighted to present Metamorphosis\, curated by independent curator and art historian Syed Muhammad Hafiz. The exhibition brings together works by Anniketyni Madian (b. 1986\, Malaysia)\, Meta Enjelita (b. 1994\, Indonesia)\, and Khairulddin Wahab (b. 1990\, Singapore) in dialogue with the late Singaporean batik modernist Jaafar Latiff (1937–2007\, Singapore). Through new responses to Latiff’s ideas and material experiments\, Metamorphosis explores legacy as restless and evolving\, highlighting contemporary practices across the Malay Archipelago\, where art\, craft\, and tradition are constantly reimagined. \nCentral to the exhibition is Jaafar Latiff’s lifelong commitment to pushing batik beyond convention. Working on his own terms\, he expanded the medium through abstraction\, material experimentation\, and an unwavering belief in artistic autonomy. His contributions\, recognised through major institutional exhibitions and his role as an influential art educator\, position him as a pivotal figure in Singapore’s post-independence art history. \nResponding to Jaafar Latiff’s sustained innovation with batik and abstraction\, the invited artists engage with his legacy through both material and conceptual transformation. Anniketyni Madian\, known for her abstract sculptural works\, draws on Iban folklore and Sarawakian cultural memory\, embedding personal and ancestral narratives within universal forms. Latiff’s persistent exploration of abstraction offers a point of departure for her practice\, where beneath seemingly universal forms lie traces of identity\, heritage\, and tradition. Meta Enjelita work explores the entangled matters of materiality\, ecological and social structures\, and her latest textile-based installation works incorporate stylised Jawi calligraphy inspired by Latiff’s Unspoken Dialogue series. Applying her signature rust-dyeing techniques\, her works weave together traditional batik and calligraphic techniques into contemporary installation\, giving form to a mutual conversation between art and craft. Khairulddin Wahab’s practice examines post-colonial histories\, cultural geography\, and environmental narratives. Similarly drawing on cultural narratives surrounding batik traditions\, his latest work adds another dimension to his practice\, especially after his residency at Lohjinawi\, Yogyakarta\, towards the end of 2025. Instead of working with his preferred acrylic paints\, Khairulddin has decided to adopt batik-inspired techniques for his latest work – a commentary on the spice and nutmeg trade during the colonial era. \nTogether\, these new works showcase some of Southeast Asia’s most dynamic young artists\, revealing their critical engagement with art history\, tradition\, and material practice. By placing Jaafar Latiff’s works alongside those of younger artists\, the exhibition offers additional perspectives through which to consider his practice. Metamorphosis positions Latiff’s ideas as ongoing and open to reinterpretation across generations. \n \nMetamorphosis runs from 17 January to 28 February 2026 at Cuturi Gallery\, Singapore.

SUMMARY:Boedi Widjaja: Immortal Words :: 字基
DESCRIPTION:Immortal Words :: 字基 splices poetry with genetic code\, meditating on the diasporic condition. Boedi Widjaja asks: if history is displaced\, how might it take up new space through the body? His 4-line toponymic poem spatialises as DNA nano-sculptures—lines\, circles\, cubes—released through a capsule ball machine\, with the microfluidic molecular writing process unspooled on video. A living\, participatory work realized with geneticist Eric Yap (Institute of Digital Molecular Analytics and Science).

SUMMARY:Rituals of Perception
DESCRIPTION:Tanoto Art Foundation’s (TAF) first major group exhibition Rituals of Perception will open on 21 January 2026 during Singapore Art Week. On view through 1 March 2026\, the exhibition gathers works born from intimate dialogues between body and matter\, unfolding through slow\, contemplative\, and iterative processes. Against the backdrop of digital acceleration and collective disenchantment\, the exhibition turns toward practices that reattune us to presence\, where every gesture and touch becomes a quiet act of resistance against an increasingly dehumanised sense of time. Staged at Singapore’s New Bahru School Hall\, the exhibition features works from the Tanoto Family Collection\, loans and new commissions by over twenty leading contemporary artists. Rituals of Perception is curated by Xiaoyu Weng\, TAF Artistic Director. During the opening reception\, artist Sriwhana Spong presented a new performance as part of her ongoing research\, presented in Singapore for the first time. \nTo learn more about Rituals of Perception here. \nLocation \nNew Bahru School Hall\, 46 Kim Yam Road\, School Block\, #02-02\, Singapore 239351 \nOpening Hours \nOpens Daily\, 11am-7pm \nSaturdays till 9pm

SUMMARY:Dialogue of Differences\, presented by ART SEASONS Gallery
DESCRIPTION:Dialogue of Differences brings together artists whose practices confront the frictions shaping today’s geopolitical\, cultural\, and social landscapes. At a time when rising nationalist sentiment and renewed “war economies”— both literal and ideological\, seek to reinforce old hierarchies\, the exhibition offers a counterpoint through artistic dissent\, complexity\, and exchange. Rather than collapsing perspectives into simple binaries\, it opens a space where contradiction and nuance become modes of resistance. \nParticipating artists: Awang Damit Ahmad\, David Chan\, Lester Lee\, Umibaizurah Mahir@Ismail and Yin Chua. \nAll works are for sale.

SUMMARY:Momentary Pulses: Art in the Central Business District
DESCRIPTION:Date: 30 January 2026 – 31 December 2027\nVenue: Various sites across Singapore’s CBD (from Raffles Place to Tanjong Pagar)\nAdmission: Free \nPresented by The Everyday Museum (a public art initiative by Singapore Art Museum)\, Momentary Pulses is a public art trail that invites you to slow down and encounter art in the daily flow of life. Spanning overlooked and interstitial public spaces like linkways\, open plazas and MRT passages\, seven newly commissioned installations by Singapore based artists respond to the sights\, sounds and commercial pulse of the Central Business District (CBD) — turning routine journeys into moments of reflection and imagination. \nFeaturing works by Song-Ming Ang\, Finbarr Fallon\, Catherine Hu\, Zul Mahmod\, collaborative duo Teow Yue Han and Federico Ruberto\, Yang Jie and Immanuel Koh\, the trail reveals the textures and histories embedded within Singapore’s urban core. The works will be launched in two phases\, with the first phase featuring five installations by Song-Ming Ang\, Finbarr Fallon\, Catherine Hu\, Zul Mahmod\, and the collaborative duo Teow Yue Han and Federico Ruberto. The remaining two works by Yang Jie and Immanuel Koh will be introduced in the later part of 2026. Each installation is sited within walking distance in the CBD\, including stops near OUE Link (Raffles Place)\, One Raffles Quay (North Tower)\, Asia Square (Tower 1)\, Shenton House\, and Tanjong Pagar MRT (Exit G). Look out for kinetic and sound-based installations\, AI-driven works\, sculptural interventions\, and site-specific gestures that reframe how we perceive the city’s everyday infrastructures. Together\, these works offer distinct lenses on movement\, memory\, technology and transformation — encouraging new ways of seeing a district in constant motion. \nAs part of the public art trail’s opening\, The Everyday Museum launches Story Scape (30 January – 8 February 2026)\, a festival organised in collaboration with StoryFest. The festival extends the trail through exciting storytelling performances\, artist talks and an evening audiovisual experience at RASA Space. Programme details will be announced on SAM’s channels.  \n

SUMMARY:TAF Conversation Series: Stephanie Comilang and Carolina Fusilier (With performance 'Attuning to Sonic Residue' by Carolina Fusilier and Fumitake Tamura)
DESCRIPTION:Conceived as the closing event of TAF’s inaugural exhibition Rituals of Perception\, this iteration of the TAF Conversation Series features a newly commissioned performance by Carolina Fusilier in collaboration with musician Fumitake Tamura\, followed by a conversation between Fusilier and artist Stephanie Comilang\, moderated by Xiaoyu Weng\, TAF’s Artistic Director. The program marks the culmination of TAF’s year-long research on materiality\, focusing on how contemporary artists engage the entanglement of material\, technological\, and embodied systems.Developed as an extension of Fusilier’s installation Inmortalistas (2025) and conceived specifically for the New Bahru School Hall\, the performance Attuning to Sonic Residue centers on a handcrafted device designed to capture radio waves and electromagnetic frequencies\, integrated into a wearable suit. Emitted in real time through a speaker embedded in the costume\, the sound transforms the performer’s body—and the surrounding artworks—into living antennae capable of receiving and amplifying invisible signals. The work frames the body as a technological interface\, rendering perceptible the constant exchanges between bodies\, architecture\, and technological systems\, and positioning active listening as a ritual practice. Approaching radio and technology from a narrative perspective\, Comilang’s video work Piña\, Why Is the Sky Blue? (2021)\, created with Simon Speiser\, unfolds through the voice of Piña\, a sentient AI shaped by ancestral knowledge. The work interweaves the stories of Amazonian women radio broadcasters\, Afro-Ecuadorian and Indigenous healers\, and Filipina spiritual leaders\, whose memories and ritual knowledge are “uploaded” into artificial consciousness.\n\n\n  \nFree admission. \nRegister for the talk here. \nVenue: New Bahru School Hall

SUMMARY:Echoes of Undergrowth by John Marie Andrada
DESCRIPTION:Haridas Contemporary is excited to announce John Marie Andrada (b. 2001) upcoming solo exhibition with the gallery. \nHow often have we tried to mark our ideas of growth? It is a process that eludes and empowers\, albeit one we have tried to demarcate and demystify. Growth exists in abundance; teems in flourishing moments. Yet\, it also lurks at cavernous loss and despair. While we adapt or struggle to present a mirage of reality\, an undergrowth persists in our psychology. \nBuilt on the melding of ethereal and corporeal facets of natural phenomena and human anatomy\, Echoes of Undergrowth marks Andrada’s second solo at Haridas Contemporary. Featuring sixteen new works comprising of fourteen paintings and two multi-media installations\, Andrada seeks to lull the viewer into botanical dreamscapes as they piece together newfound focal points in nature and the physical body.

SUMMARY:“… AND WE HIRED A BLOKE TO FIX THE WALL”
DESCRIPTION:“… AND WE HIRED A BLOKE TO FIX THE WALL”\nSOLO EXHIBITION BY BEAST\nMarch 13 – 21\, 2026\nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\, London \nITSLIQUID Group is pleased to present “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall”\, a solo exhibition by Italian street artist Beast\, curated by Luca Curci\, on view in London from March13 until 21 March\, 2026 at ELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\, in London. The exhibition brings together a selection of works from Beast’s most recent series\, exploring the relationship between memory\, history\, and the physical traces of time embedded in urban surfaces. Active since 2009\, Beast has realised over 200 urban installations across more than 40 cities in Europe\, the United States and Japan. His early practice focused on political and social themes\, often presented through satirical mash-ups of contemporary figures framed in gold and placed directly in public space. Over time\, his work expanded in scale\, moving towards large-format paste-ups and monumental interventions on abandoned buildings. Throughout this evolution\, the street has remained central to his practice\, conceived as an open and democratic space for artistic dialogue. In recent years\, Beast has turned his attention towards history and memory\, developing an ongoing body of work that places portraits of cultural figures on the walls of abandoned historical centres. These locations – often damaged\, neglected or left to decay – are not treated as neutral backdrops\, but as integral components of the work itself.The series “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall”\, which also gives its title to the exhibition\, presents portraits of influential figures from culture\, philosophy\, literature\, art and psychology. Among those featured are Carl Gustav Jung\, Philip Roth\, Jackson Pollock\, Albert Camus and Noam Chomsky. Rather than functioning as celebratory images\, these works present the subjects as enduring presences emerging from the material history of the places they inhabit. The technique behind the works is central to their meaning. Each piece begins with the wall itself\, which is first photographed in detail. The texture of the surface—its cracks\, stains and signs of erosion – is digitally overlaid onto the portrait of the chosen subject. The resulting image is then printed and installed on the same wall\, aligning imperfections so that the figure appears to surface from within the architecture. Image and wall merge\, creating the impression that memory is embedded in the structure itself. The conceptual foundation of the series is inspired by a statement from historian Howard Zinn: “If you don’t know history it is as if you were born yesterday. And if you were born yesterday\, anybody up there in a position of power can tell you anything\, and you have no way of checking up on it.” \nFor Beast\, historical awareness represents a form of resistance against manipulation and collective amnesia. The title of the exhibition introduces a subtle but deliberate irony. “…and we hired a bloke to fix the wall” evokes the idea of a practical solution to decay\, suggesting that damage can simply be repaired or concealed. In contrast\, Beast exposes the wall rather than fixing it\, treating cracks and erosion as carriers of meaning rather than flaws to be corrected. Installed within the gallery space\, the works retain their connection to the street and to the abandoned environments from which they originate. Fragile and materially charged\, they invite reflection on the relationship between physical decay and intellectual endurance\, and on the role of memory in shaping our understanding of the present. \nOPENING\nMarch 13\, 2026 | 06:00 PM\nELEMENTS Contemporary Art Space\n253 Hoxton Street\, N1 5LG\, London\, UK\nOpening hours | Tuesday – Saturday . 11:00 AM – 05:00 PM \nRSVP\ninfo@itsliquid.com\nClick here to register for the event (free entry)

SUMMARY:To the Moon and Back
DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to share To the Moon and Back\, an intimate live music experience taking place from 20–22 March 2026 at Chaos Gallery. Set within a space surrounded by original local artwork\, this concert invites audiences into a reflection on love\, the kind that’s often felt deeply but rarely spoken aloud. \nInspired by the subtle ways Singaporeans express affection\, To the Moon and Back explores love that is communicated through gestures and shared moments rather than direct words. The title reflects a sentiment many of us might have grown up with: while I love you is rarely heard\, to the moon and back is greatly felt. \nThe programme brings together beloved classical works by Edward Elgar\, Erik Satie\, and Robert Schumann\, alongside music from the films Up and La La Land. Each piece in the repertoire was chosen for the different shades of love it captures\, from the romantic to the familial\, the nostalgic\, and everything in between. \nThe concert features a unique chamber ensemble of mezzo-soprano Priscilla Fong\, clarinetist Stephanie Tan\, and harpist Nigel Foo. \nThe performance is presented alongside an exhibition by local artist Stephanie Tan\, whose works explore the many forms love can take between family\, friends\, and partners. Her art reflects the same ideas that inspired the concert\, the quiet nature of love and its ability to transform our lives in subtle yet profound ways. \nTogether\, the music and artwork create a reflective environment where audiences can pause and experience how love reveals itself not just in grand declarations\, but also in little moments. \nFind out more @eastsidestoryprod on Instagram.

SUMMARY:Nine Years Theatre presents God of Carnage《杀戮之神》
DESCRIPTION:Two boys in a park scuffle. Four well-meaning adults meet to talk. What could possibly go wrong? \nIn God of Carnage\, a simple meeting between two sets of parents\, hoping to “peacefully resolve” their sons’ fight\, spirals spectacularly out of control. Polite smiles crack\, civilities crumble\, and a night that begins with pastries and good intentions descends into chaos\, candour\, and comic catastrophe. \nNine Years Theatre brings you Yasmina Reza’s acclaimed\, razor-sharp dark comedy that reveals how thin the veneer of adulthood truly is. Under award-winning director Nelson Chia’s signature precision\, and with strong performances from an experienced ensemble — led by NYT co-founder Mia Chee\, multi-disciplinary actor-writer-host Oon Shu An\, Mediacorp multi-hyphenate artist Cavin Soh\, and seasoned stage and film actor Tay Kong Hui — their distinct performance energies collide to create sharp\, compelling tension. This work animates every shift\, crack\, and eruption\, drawing audiences into a sharply observed battle of pride\, parenting\, and personal truth. \nCome witness the elegant meltdown. \nIt’s messy. It’s funny. It’s painfully human. \n  \n \nPerformed in Mandarin with English surtitles \nApproximately 1 hour 30 minutes\, no intermission \nAdvisory (Some Mature Content) \n \n[STANDARD TICKETS] \nTue-Thu: $68 (CAT 1) | $55 (CAT 2) \nFri-Sun: $78 (CAT 1) | $65 (CAT 2) \n*Excluding SISTIC booking fee \n[ Early Bird Sale ] \n– 20% off CAT 1 tickets \n– Key promo code: NYT26EB upon selection of Ticket Type \n– Promo Period: 11 Dec 2025 to 3 Jan 2026 \nSG Culture Pass credits may be used for this show. \n[Available from 4 Jan 2026 onwards] \n[9-Fan] Existing Members \n– 15% off CAT 1 tickets \n– Promo code required \n[9-Fan] New Members \n– Limited to one 35% discounted CAT 1 ticket per transaction. \n– Promo code required \n– Applicable for Tue-Thu shows only \n– Click here to join now! \nNYT Youth Special \n– Applicable for 16-25 years old \n– 50% off CAT 2 tickets \n– Applicable for Tue-Thu shows only \n– Verification: Show valid IC for confirmation upon collection of physical ticket \n– Patrons unable to present proof of eligibility at the door will be required to upgrade their discounted tickets to full-price tickets \nPackage of 4 \n– Tue-Thu: $233 \n– Fri-Sun: $268 \n– No promo code required \n– Applicable to CAT 1 only \n– Applicable for bundles of 4 tickets. \nOther Promotions: \n\nConcessions for Students | NSF | PWD | Seniors 55 years old and above\n\n– 10% off CAT 1 & CAT 2 tickets \n– Patrons unable to present proof of eligibility at the door will be required to upgrade their concession ticket to a full-price ticket \n\nPAssion Card | HomeTeamNS | SAFRA\n\n– 10% off CAT 1 tickets · Promo code required \n\nWild Rice Angels\n\n– 12% off CAT 1 tickets · Promo code required \n\nGroup / Corporate Booking (min. 20 tickets and above)\n\n– Please email admin@nineyearstheatre.com for more information \n* All promotions are subject to availability
