“There have been plenty of memorable big-screen robots (such as R2-D2, C3PO, Tik Tok and the Terminator T1000) but now there is... the rise of the theatre robot.” The Telegraph Japan’s Robot Theatre Project presents a creative re imagining of Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis, in which the leading character morphs into an android rather than a bug. This thoroughly modern play asks audiences to reconsider what it means to be human in an era of growing technology.

The Metamorphosis, Android Version
the kumar show “... irreverent, funny, incisive, and uniquely Singapore.” CNN Travel
Singapore’s favourite drag queen, Kumar has been entertaining audiences with his unique brand of comedy for the last 20 years. He (or she!) has wow-ed crowds in wellremembered cabaret clubs like The Boom Boom Room and Gold Dust, and has become a household name thanks to appearances in both television and film. Back in Penang for the third year running, this one-night-only show will surely leave you in stitches.
