Pangdemonium’s Falling
Tami and Bill are ordinary parents doing their best to bring up their two teenage kids – Lisa, 16, full of attitude and angst; and Josh, who demands extraordinary attention, because he’s an 18-year-old boy with severe autism. An electrifying and enlightening family drama directed by Tracie Pang and starring Tan Kheng Hua, Pangdemonium’s Falling examines the meaning of unconditional love, and dares to ask: “How do you love someone who is difficult to love?
Pangdemonium’s Falling is happening from 24 to 29 May 2016 at KC Arts Centre. Tickets are priced from $30 and are available via SISTIC.
Bincho x Hombre Cantina present Juan Night In Tokyo
For one night only, a smashing Japanese-Mex collaboration is going to own the night from the crew behind modern yakitori concept Bincho and casual Mexican dude-fare joint, Hombre Cantina. Coming from the Hyōgo Prefecture, Chef Asai Masashi and Oaxaca-native Head Chef Jorge Leon will be creating an innovative menu to bring the full flavours of Japanese Yakitori and casual Mexican fare to a harmonious match, featuring exclusive one-offs like Pibil Chicken Roll with Guacamole and Jitokko Chicken Tacos with Radish & Pina Yuzu Kosho Dressing.
