PUBLISHED October 17th, 2016 06:00 am | UPDATED May 14th, 2018 01:04 pm

This week, watch a classic Mandarin play by Taiwanese theatre stalwart Stan Lai, party with a legendary German techno producer, enjoy a nine-day culinary event, learn to live consciously, and immerse in a Caribbean fiesta.

Nine Years Theatre presents Red Sky

Nine Years Theatre – the production company that focuses on Mandarin productions (don’t worry, there’s English subtitles) – continues the year with its second production Red Sky, a heartwarming and sentimental classic about eight senior citizens converging in a retirement home. As they feast on food and medication, sing and fight, head down on an emotional rollercoaster ride as you reflect on the pain and beauty of life. Directed by Nelson Chia (a consecutive two-year winner of Life! Theatre Awards’ Best Director), this play is an ode to autumn as much as it is a poem on the courage of living.

Red Sky is running from 20 to 23 October 2016 at KC Arts Centre. Tickets are priced from $38, available via SISTIC. For more details, check out the event page here.

Interstellar ft. Heiko Laux (Kanzleramt – DE)

Interstellar has been connecting cutting-edge music with visual arts for the longest time, bringing us names such Shifted, Minilogue, and Jamie Bissmire to the region. Now, we see legendary German techno producer and Kanzleramt founder Heiko Laux, who’ll be blessing CATO with his stimulating electronic sounds and ability to flutter between genres and sounds with ease, from contemporary techno to techno, trance and minimal.

Interstellar ft. Heiko Laux (Kanzleramt – DE) is happening on Friday, 21 October 2016 at CATO from 10pm to 3am. Cover charge (after 11pm) is priced at $20. For more details, check out the event page here.
