What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

The festival distinguishes itself by commissioning original, named productions rather than restaging familiar repertoire, pairing theatrical works from TOY Factory with contemporary Chinese instrumental performances from The TENG Ensemble and traditional programming from the Singapore Chinese Orchestra and Singapore Chinese Dance Theatre within the same season

The mystery stays covered

Past editions have paired performances with a craft bazaar, The Sing Life Collective Market, and hands-on workshops such as customising Peranakan tiles, extending the festival beyond a passive theatre-going experience into participatory craft-making rooted in Singapore's Chinese and Peranakan heritage
