The Fringe Festival started this evening. Even though I spent the day in Batam, Indonesia, I made it on time for the asian premiere of Eclipse, a play about a Singaporean going to Pakistan to dispose of the ashes of his father. It was a touching one-man show with the main actor also playing the role of his father and grandfather. It was also directly in line with this year festival's theme: Art and History. A good insight of the romantisation of one's roots and a personal view about the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947. Highly recommended.
