Art Fest Closing Celebration (21 jun 08)

We went to the closing celebrations at Bedok Reservoir today. There are limited signages directing the events and Bedok reservoir is very big. Daddy dropped us off at the wrong end of the park and we have to walk (and jog and run) for 20 mins to the other end of the park where the stage is.

The show has a simple storyline and the performers are expressive in their action. It was crowded. I saw many families around with children. It a good sign to see more people participating in art performance. Unfortunately the audiences were not very spontaneous. Very lurkewarm and not much of a applauses at the end of the show. Gor gor dont seems to enjoy much. He was afraid the fire display and fireworks. For me, I was standing so far away and blocked by the people infront. But I still enjoyed myself as long as I am outdoor.

Hydro SapiensThe Lunatics (The Netherlands)Part of the Water Wonder Series
World Premiere20 – 22 June, 8pmBedok ReservoirFree


For every question, there is an answer…What is the power of water? How weak can it make you? Should we fear it, love it, hate it? A human being is made up 80 percent out of water, so why do we need more? Why do tears taste salty? And why doesn’t sweat taste sweet? Is Jaws still alive? And in how many ways a man can drown? For all these questions, The Lunatics will try to find the answers - through a very intensive, hilarious, spectacular and even brutal search for the right value of water....

The award-winning Lunatics have been performing ingenious theatre in all kinds of places throughout the world - from marshlands to jungles, from bustling cities to barren deserts. With their brand of powerful poetic imagery often playing on the elements of air, fire, water, and earth, they now come to wreak havoc at our Bedok Reservoir with the world premiere of their latest water-fantasy Hydro Sapiens. Expect a splashing new spectacle!
