Return To Sungei Road

For 80 years, Sungei Road was the site of Singapore's oldest flea market before it was closed in 2017.

Playwright SANMU interviewed many of its colourful characters including The Businessman, The Poet and Liang Po Po, and combined them to create the verbatim play titled One Metre Square: Voices From Sungei Road, performed in Mandarin, Hokkien and Cantonese, with English surtitles. Directed by Zelda Tatiana Ng, the play transports you to a Singapore scene that may have vanished just a year ago, but holds the keys to a timeless, much-storied past.

One Metre Square: Voices From Sungei Road runs till July 22 at LASALLE College of the Arts. Tickets from Sistic.
