The Trojan Women

18 - 22 September 2013 

Wednesday – Saturday 8pm, Saturday matinee 4pm 

DBS Arts Centre – Home of SRT 

For ages 15 years and above

The Young Co. presents Ellen Mclaughlan's modern adaptation of The Trojan Women as their graduation performance in a moving, frightening, and powerful portrayal of Euripides’ Greek classic story about the women of Troy. Being inspired by the situations occurring in Egypt, Syria and Afghanistan and in particular the way women are treated when a country is at war or civilisation has broken down, this play was chosen for its relevance and engaging story.

Synopsis

A wooden horse appears at the gates of Troy with a secret in its belly. For the Trojans, it means a victory, a party, and drunken sleep. For the Greeks, it means that by sunrise, an enemy city will be razed to the ground. Adapted from Euripides’ tragedy, The Trojan Women offers an enduring picture of human fortitude amidst a deeply moving evocation of the horrors of war.

This is an anti-war play. It is a play about women, human relationships, loyalty and classical mythology. It shows a war not in its glory and pomp, but in the desolation of those left behind – the women. However, at its core, it is a play about women who conquer the perils and foolishness of wars waged.

Celebrations at Gardens by the Bay, August - October 2013, Singapore

Celebrations at Gardens by the Bay

From August to November, Gardens by the Bay celebrates National Day and the festivals of Hari Raya, Mid-Autumn Festival and Deepavali with a series of changing floral displays in the Flower Dome themed “Celebrations!”.

Hari Raya & National Day
“Celebrations!” kicks off with a red-and-white Hari Raya themed floral display which also ties in with National Day. The floral display not only showcases a variety of flora such as orchids, roses and begonias, but also features the five stars of the national flag. Complementing the display are traditional Malay celebratory ornaments such as the Bunga Telur and Bunga Manggar. Of the flowers featured in the display, the orchids are commonly associated with Singapore while roses have traditionally been used by the Malay community in combination with Pandan leaves and other fragrant flowers to make Bunga Rampai, an aromatic confetti given out during times of celebration.
 
For local residents, there will also be a $4.80 discount on local admission tickets to the cooled conservatories from 7 to 11 August.

In August, Garden Series, in collaborating with several local schools will be held in series of free performances in the Gardens over two weekends. 

Mid-Autumn Festival
In September, the flower field will undergo another change in celebration of the Mid-Autumn Festival, also commonly known as Lantern Festival. Flowers and lanterns will take centre stage, with “lantern flowers” like Fuchsias and Abutilons sitting alongside autumn-blooms such as Chrysanthemums and Goldenrods. 

Deepavali
From mid-October to early November, the Gardens will celebrate Deepavali with a floral display inspired by the colourful kolam, a traditional Indian decorative art. Vibrant colours of purple and orange from flowers like Amaranths, Cone Flowers and Cockscombs will be complemented by Indian fabric lanterns, lamps and carved wooden elephants, bringing “Celebrations!” to a befitting close with a floral tapestry of colour!
