Last week happened to be the Prudential Children First! Singapore International Festival for Children 2009. As parents, TY & I believe in giving Julian exposure to the creative and performing arts at a young age and we are on the constant lookout for good performances to bring him to. For this event, we decided on 2 shows – Bed Time and Martha - after browsing through the catalogue. Both turned out to be wildly entertaining (for Julian, at least!) and a whopping success!
Bed Time at The Arts House, Gallery (Saturday, March 14, 2009)
Bed Time
This performance is produced by Katarsis, Education & Theatre (Spain) and is a charming and amusing non-verbal show that runs just like a dance choreography. Although called Bed Time, there is hardly a moment of rest or slumber! In their innocence and candid imagination, the two friends explore a world of adventures; they find great
pleasure in transforming small things that surround them
into magnificent dreams and creatures. This Bed Time surely beats
counting sheep!

Martha at Raffles Hotel, Jubilee Hall (Sunday, March 15, 2009)
Martha
The second performance by Catherine Wheels Theatre Company (Scotland) is about a rather eccentric woman named Martha who lives by herself in a strange house on the beach of an island off the west coast of Scotland. Martha does not want any friends; she thinks she does not need any. One day, a cheeky goose shows up on the beach and refuses to leave in spite of Martha’s hilarious attempts. Stuck with each other, the unlikely pair ends up having a great time until the fowl must return to its family.
Martha is then left with nothing but her memories of the goose. She begins to realise that having a friend or two might be a good thing after all. The show’s amazing appeal transcends time and age as it has intrigued audiences of all ages for almost a decade with its moving, funny and warm story of friendship and trust.
