Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade

This event is over.
The stage is set, and everything begins as it would in any theatre show. But then, chaos ensues—a flood warning is announced and the theatre suddenly transforms into an emergency centre as people rush in.
Amid the turmoil, ordinary objects transform into something entirely unexpected and new—a blue tarp becomes the ocean, canned food turns into walls, and rice bags hold back the rising water. Can we find the key to preventing an impending disaster?
Created by Terrapin in collaboration with Japanese artists Kouhei Narumi and Ayami Sasaki, Goldfish blends stunning design with imaginative puppetry. A unique theatre experience, Goldfish invites families to imagine new possibilities in an uncertain world.
