DANCE & THEATRE
Bhukham Revisited - Circus of Earth and Sky
 
By the Daksha Seth Dance Company | India
12 Nov 05, Sat, 8pm, Theatre

For ONE NIGHT only in Singapore, BhuKham Revisited promises to be a stunning aerial dance extravaganza!

“Lose yourself in a world where aerial acrobatics and pinpoint precision compete with melodic movement to bring “the mystery, magic, risk, physicality and excitement of the circus to dance.”
– Mid-Day Mumbai

BhuKham is a production charged with rare passion, daring and ability. It defies categorisation, demanding that performers excel in classical Indian dance forms, Yoga, the martial arts and even circus gymnastics.

The Candlestickmaker
 
By Indian Ink | New Zealand
18 & 19 Nov, Fri & Sat, 8pm, Theatre Studio

The Candlestickmaker “...still has a freshness about it and it still has the power to raise not only laughter and applause and also a collective gasp of shock from the audience... ”
– The Evening Post (New Zealand)

Discover black holes and the formula for happiness in this tribute to one of the greatest astrophysicists of this century, Subramanyan Chandrasekhar. The Candlestickmaker combines Indian flavours and Western theatrical traditions to tell the story of a young New Zealand Indian student who, Lonely Planet in hand, sets off to discover India and ends up discovering the mysteries of the universe, meeting a Nobel Prize winner, a 300-year-old cook and even a duck, all played by a single actor and a puppeteer. Science rarely comes wrapped up this warm and funny.
