Where did 2021 go? How did the year unravel, and where have we arrived at?
In a year where the arts has had to acquiesce to multiple rules, hopeful for a return to normalcy, 2021 had us hurtling through an unknown abyss of multiple emotions best captured through this year’s theme: JENG JENG JENG! From anticipation, to tentative excitement, shock, surprise and even the indescribable, our beloved colloquialism JENG JENG JENG covers it all.
This edition of Year In Review is an audio experience featuring live discussions, physical listening pods, song dedications and more! Join us in-person* or on-air to unpack the year in Singapore theatre, or simply unwind together.
