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.
5. Journey by Novak (UK) and soundtrack by Ed Carter
Where: Front Lawn, Singapore Art Museum
When: 19-20 & 26-27 Aug, 7.30pm-2am; 21-25 Aug, 7.30pm-11pm
Last year, SNF impressed many with its animated Anooki light-up at the National Museum. This year, another arresting light projection is showcased at the Singapore Art Museum.
Inspired by the world of Victorian innovation and fantasy a la novelist Jules Verne, the show morphs the facade of SAM into natural landscapes and antique man-made wonders.
