Aliwal Presents: Noise Singapore
This Wednesday, Aliwal Arts Centre will be co-presenting a night of original live music in partnership with Noise Singapore, showcasing three Music Mentorship Programme mentees: Efficient Public Transport with their haphazard blend of pop melodies, driving bass lines, and Dada-esque lyrics; alternative rock quartet Faux Pas and their love for the Arctic Monkeys; and The Neptune Waves, the four-piece collective that embodies euphoria and despair in every song.
Aliwal Presents: Noise Singapore is happening on Wednesday, 21 September 2016, 7.30pm at Aliwal Arts Center. Tickets are priced at $10, available at the door. For more details, check out the event page here.
Couch Theatre presents Eurydice by Sarah Ruhl
The canonical Greek story as told by American playwright Sarah Ruhl and presented by Couch Theatre. Just hours before her wedding, Eurydice meets with an untimely accident that sends her into the Underworld. Despite being split from her beloved, she is reunited with her dead Father in the Land of the Dead. As Orpheus journeys to rescue his bride, Eurydice starts to realise that the cost of living again can sometimes exceed the cost of staying dead.
