The lawn opposite The Cathay in Dhoby Ghaut is no more. In its place now stands an intriguing portal to another world - a universe of mirrors, gears and cogs, curious culinary inventions and futuristic knick-knacks.
In fact, the entire Bras Basah-Bugis precinct has been transformed into a steampunk heaven. This is the theme that you can look forward to at this year's Singapore Night Festival, which impressed us with its consistency, high quality performances and yummy evening treats.
Here are six things you should check out when you go to the festival, to be held on 19-20 Aug and 26-27 Aug from 7.30pm.
3. House of Curiosities by Sweet Tooth by Cake (Singapore)
Where: Cathay Green (field opposite The Cathay)
When: 19-20 & 26-27 Aug, 6pm, 8.30pm & 11pm
The performance in the House of Curiosities enchanted me with its elaborate staging, detailed props (think time machines and illuminated bicycles) and captivating dialogue. But this show is a lot more than what’s moving and talking on stage.
Instead, the House of Curiosities show comprises an entire area transformed into an alternate universe, including steampunk craft stations, curious food stalls and more.
Admission tickets must be purchased for this show: $16 (adults) and $13 (concession), inclusive of $1 Sistic fee. Tickets are available on Sistic and at the door, while stocks last.
