View dates and time(Intermission: None)
Singtel Waterfront Theatre at Esplanade
This event is over.
Inspired by the acclaimed 2023 film by director M.Raihan Halim (Clover Films and Papahan Films), La Luna follows the quiet upheaval of a small village after the arrival of a modern lingerie shop run by an unwelcome newcomer, Hanie. Her presence unsettles long-held social codes, awakening desires that have long remained unspoken.
As relationships deepen and tensions simmer beneath the village’s carefully maintained façade, the community is forced to confront its own hypocrisies and contradictions between tradition and change, conformity and desire, belief and personal freedom.
Premiering in 2023, the film La Luna was Singapore’s entry to the 97th Academy Awards (Oscars) in 2025, for the Best International Feature Film category. It has been screened at numerous film festivals including the Tokyo International Film Festival, the Jogja-Netpac Asian Film Festival, International Film Festival Rotterdam, and the Shanghai International Film Festival. This inaugural stage adaptation is led by an all-star cast of theatre heavyweights including Munah Bagharib, Fir Rahman, Farhana M Noor, Sani Hussin, Fauzie Laily, Siti Khalijah Zainal, Rizman Putra, Haziqah Hashir and Ali Mazrin.
Together with a powerhouse creative team comprising of playwright Ridhwan Saidi, director and production designer Mohd Fared Jainal, lighting designer Adrian Tan and sound designer Safuan Johari, La Luna captures the same spirit of its namesake film and promises to be a sharp, heartfelt comedy that is as provocative as it is entertaining.
Inspired by the motion picture La Luna by director M.Raihan Halim with credit to Clover Films and Papahan Films.
