Tall Tales

2026.03
Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay
A transformation of stories.
Imagination
giving birth to stories,
Stories nesting within stories,
Weaving, coupling, multiplying
and renewing themselves.
Between one narrative
and the next,
New beginnings
and endings emerge,
Ever continuing, never complete.

Through collective exploration, the troupe continually seeks its own distinctive theatrical language and style. In addition to presenting new experimental works and engaging in artistic and cultural exchanges both locally and internationally each year, it also remains dedicated to nurturing creative platforms, promoting arts education, and participating in cultural policy development.
