We’re listing out the best things to do this weekend from dancing the night away at Ultra Singapore to Singapore’s very own Toy, Game & Comic Convention, we’ve got you covered.
1. Time Between Us
Celebrated Argentine artist Fernando Rubio is a dramatist and a visual artist whose works have been staged across Europe, South America, and the United States. For Singapore International Festival of Arts 2016, Rubio creates uniquely Singapore versions of Everything By My Side and Time Between Us, two gripping performance pieces that will have you enjoying new space and time perspectives. This is Rubio’s Time Between Us, which takes apart a man’s habits and makes a piece out of that. The man decides to leave the place he knows to feel like a stranger and decides to inhabit this solitary time, which is simultaneously shared with others. He makes an aesthetic and unique event out of this moment, looking to experience the absence and the relationship with unknown people, based on the supposition that he can be another person.
