Ma
by RP Operation Theatre, RP Chinese Ensemble, GEnRe Guitar Ensemble, RP Magic Group, Campus Arts Productions, Photo Republic

Ma is a poignant story of an elderly woman searches for her missing cat—an act that becomes a metaphor for her fading place in a rapidly changing Singapore. Through fragmented encounters, the play explores generational estrangement, the loss of cultural identity, and the silencing of the elderly. Through dynamic blend of music, drama and movement, this Kuo Pao Kun's piece is a powerful reflection on the cost of progress and a heartfelt call to reconnect with our roots before they disappear.

Free admission via registration.

MUSE XIIII: Zubir
by RP Modern Dance, RP Wushu, RP Silat, RP Dharma Endari, RP Style Groovaz Crew, RP Capoeira, RP Indian Cultural Group, Campus Arts Productions, Photo Republic

MUSE XIIII: Zubir explores his multi-faceted personality and the impact he has on to our lives. More than just a composer of our National Anthem, we will meet the man - his inspirations, his aspirations and his challenges, from his early days in Bukit Tinggi, Sumatra, to his glorious music making times at Malay Film’s Shaw Brothers and Cathay Keris, to independent Singapore.

Performed by RP’s dance groups, this concert also draws inspiration from his philosophy, succinctly found in the Malay proverb “Di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung" ("You should hold up the sky of the land where you live").

Ticket price: $10 (excluding platform fees)

Symphonie De Republique XVII: Monsoons
by RP Wind Symphony, RP String Ensemble, RP Gamelan Naga Kencana, RP Dikir Barat, Campus Arts Productions, Photo Republic

Once shaped by monsoon winds and maritime trade, Singapore now faces new global tides. In Symphonie De Republique XVII: Monsoons, RP’s Wind Symphony fuses symphonic music with Asian influences to reflect on today’s shifting currents—AI, global conflict, and changing values.

Tracing the paths of our past and present, the concert closes with quiet optimism: that Singapore will keep its rhythm and thrive amidst the winds of change.

Free admission via registration.
