Esplanade presents These Brief Encounters
Don’t Miss These Brief Encounters – A Dance Piece That Echoes the Pandemic
When the Esplanade commissioned a fresh contemporary dance, they turned to Chowk Productions and got These Brief Encounters. The show takes a page from Albert Camus’s brilliant novel The Plague, swapping the dusty streets of Oran for a more relevant, high‑energy stage.
Why it’s still you and me…
- Timing, timing, timing: The theme of survival, moral choice and compassion sits eerily close to what we all lived through during Covid‑19.
- Lead choreography: Raka Maitraow keeps the movement sharp while Siong Leng Musical Association pumps the beat.
- Message: A reminder to stay compassionate in the new normal, so you’ll laugh, gasp, and feel a little more human afterward.
Show details
- Dates: November 19‑20, 2021
- Venue: Esplanade Annexe Studio, 1 Esplanade Drive, Singapore 038981
- Ticket prices: Standard $30 / Concession $22

Where Are We going: Do We Want To Arrive?: On sustainability
Explore the Cross‑Road Between Canvas and Code
Sin Yee Tan takes you on a wild ride with her solo show, “Where Are We Going: Do We Want To Arrive?.” Twelve works fuse brushstrokes with Augmented Reality, blurring the line between what you see and what you still have to imagine.
The Big Question
Ever noticed how we sort of hijack nature to suit our plans? Tan asks the same thing in a fun, slightly tongue‑in‑cheek way. Her art forces you to stop, look at a painting, then step into an AR world that looks eerily like your hallway is going to spontaneously sprout a jungle.
What to Expect
- 12 mixed‑media pieces that’ll have you laughing, thinking, or both.
- Interactive AR that hooks into your phone or tablet – ready to pop up right beside the painted scene.
- Practical thoughts on whether the tech‑buzz we’re chasing is really worth the environmental cost. (And an apology for any missing Wi‑Fi connectivity.)
Details You Need to Know
- Venue: Gillman Barracks, 01‑01, Blk 1 Lock Road, Singapore 108937.
- Show Dates: November 13‑28, 2021.
- Hours: Tuesday‑Sunday, 1 pm–6:30 pm. Monday – closed.
- Admission: Free – only the art takes the price.
So grab a phone, step into Tan’s world, and ask yourself whether you’re happy with the direction humanity is headed. And if you’re still on the fence, a little AR illusion might fill the void while you keep questioning the status quo.
