Did I mention that we are really enjoying our time back in Singapore ? There have been so much to do & to see. As you can tell from the blog, we've been busy. And we've been busy with events like this - the Night Festival.
This is the second year the National Museum is organising the event - 2 nights of performances, theatre, dance, installations & free entry. Something a little more interesting than the usual night out at the bar with the boys.

We headed over to the SMU green after dinner. By then the performances have already started - we managed to catch the Teng Company presenting He. A modern take on chinese chamber music which I really enjoyed (note to self : remember this group & be sure to catch them when they next perform).
It was followed by a chorus dance & then an Indian dance theatre - all very varied. Unfortunately there was already a huge crowd in front of the stage & since we couldn't get a good view of the perfomances, we moved on.
There was a flea market of sorts but we headed over to the National Museum to see the Public Art installation by Asian artists.
What a brilliant idea to incorporate these public art installations as part of the Night Festival.
But all these were a prelude to the main event which was the Loop of Fortune by a German group called PAN OPTIKUM. A performance of acrobatics & fireworks. I wish I could tell you more but unlike the smart ones who got there early to chop a good spot, we opted to have a cocktail in the museum while waiting for them to start. But what we could see was spectacular. Just the fireworks alone was worth making the trip there. Sorry no pictures - I couldn't juggle a camera & carry my 4 year old at the same time (she didn't want to miss out on any of the action).
If you weren't there this year, don't miss it next year.
