Overview

Theatre companies tackle ecology and climate change in Singapore, highlighting sociopolitical challenges.

Key Points

  • Theatre performances confront environmental challenges in Singapore's diverse ecology and history, blending art and activism.
  • Recent works explore the interplay between climate change and the development of the main island, reflecting on Indigenous histories.
  • Playwrights face the difficulty of addressing urgent environmental issues without appearing overly didactic or simplistic.
  • This artistic approach underscores the complex relationship between human actions and the natural world in urban settings.
