A group of young theatre practitioners come together to present two stories in creative ways—through games, song and dance. Join us for playful encounters at various corners of Esplanade.
A Friendship Set in Stone: A Legend of Pulau Ubin
Created by: Genevieve Tan
Performed by: Miriam Cheong and Aricia Ng
Three friends, Frog, Elephant, and Pig, love to have playful competitions and shared adventures. One sunny day, after an argument, Pig challenges Frog to a high-stakes race to Pulau Ubin: whoever fails to arrive by noon will turn to stone. As the race unfolds, a storm erupts, trapping them in its fury. By noon, the three friends transform into stone statues. As they turn into stone, they reflect on their shared adventures and the importance of sticking together through thick and thin.
Today, visitors to Pulau Ubin can still see the stone figures of Frog, Pig, and Elephant: a timeless reminder of their adventure and friendship.
