The Singapore Arts Festival is a strange thing... It is the kind of festival you would expect in the West. It is very experimental. So experimental indeed that I did not dare to see most of the performances. I am quite interested in Arts in general but it needs to talk to me and when it is a bit too off the way I have problems understanding it. Tonight's show was nothing to be scared of though. It was still a bit strange but not for being unfamiliar. The musical piece I saw, entitled Awaking, was actually more like three performances in one. Musicians from the Singapore Chinese Orchestra on one side, musicians of the British Globe theatre on the other and the Northern Kunqu Opera Theatre in the middle. The bards colliding with the Ming dynasty. Shakespeare confronted to the Kunqu Opera.
