Esplanade Presents
15 – 22 Mar 2026
View dates and timeEsplanade White Room
Pass It On celebrates intergenerational play across cultures.
Artists from The Artground (Singapore) and Polyglot Theatre (Australia) engaged with families, grandparents and grandchildren, residents at aged care facilities, intergenerational playgroups and children at early learning centres from Singapore and Australia. Together, they explored the different ways that stories, memories and games are passed on.
This interactive installation is part of an ongoing creative process. It is a special opportunity to experience the discoveries so far and contribute your own. Grandparents and grandchildren aged 3 – 11 years are invited to explore the different ways that memories and games are passed on.
Take your time. Skip to a beat. Make your mark. Pass It On keeps it rolling.
Original Creative Team
The Artground (Singapore): Regina Foo, Weiyan Chen, Md Muzzam (Zam)
Polyglot Theatre (Australia): Cat Sewell, Lauren Swain, Katrina Gaskell (Trina)
