Local theatre company W!ld Rice is doing their part for SG50, by launching five productions this year inspired by the stars — each representing a Singaporean ideal — of the national flag.
The ImagiNATION series is also part of W!ld Rice's own 15th anniversary celebrations and will run from April this year to the same month in 2016.
Celebrating democracy is Public Enemy, an adaptation of Henrik Ibsen's powerful and timely classic, which will star W!ld Rice founder Ivan Heng, as well as Lim Kay Siu.
Writers and actors from Malaysia and Singapore will work together on and in Another Country, a play exploring the neighbours and former sibling's relationship in terms of history, culture and peace, another Singaporean ideal.
Hotel, a stirring epic written by Alfian Sa'at is a Singapore International Festival of the Arts commission that observes the nation's progress through the prism of one hotel room and its inhabitants over 10 decades.
The Emperor's New Clothes is a cheeky local version of the Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale that discusses equality, while the final production — expected to address the final star symbolising justice — is still a work-in-progress.
