PRISM by Toy Factory Productions
PRISM was first staged as a grand multi-cultural theatrical performance in 2003. An original script penned and directed by Toy Factory’s Chief Artistic Director Goh Boon Teck, the story follows Aman, an urban city development official, who questions his work of demolishing old historical buildings to make way for new cityscape – definitely a mutual grounding that urban-centric Singaporeans will be able to relate to. Prism stars Fir Rahman, who made waves playing a prison officer named Aiman in the film Apprentice last year.
Prism is happening from 23 February to 5 March 2017 at the National Library Building. Tickets are priced from $42, available via SISTIC. For more details, check out the event page here.

An invite-only urban art exchange set, Chang Urban Pulse invites spectators to discover the unexpected as the talents of Thailand’s street culture invade Singapore. Expect a spread of adrenalin rush with Muay Thai fighters Kanpetch Pornpichit and Chomyong Kaewwichai in the ring with Singaporeans Brandon Ng and Cheryl Gwa. All this to the beats of DJ Rattle and the night’s host, the Bangkok Invaders DJ collective. Come on down to experience the fun and action, and don’t forget to register!
