My picks for children:

PARABOLES 2.0
by Compagnie Off (France) & Victric Thng (Singapore)
Venue: National Museum of Singapore, Museum Façade
Time: 10.30pm and 11.30pm (performance on 16 July)
12mn and 1am (performance on 17 July)

Six giant satellite dishes spring from the urban ground right in front of the National Museum of Singapore. Under each satellite, we hear faint abstract sounds. It is the music of the stars, solar winds, and radio waves, all mixed together in a surreal, random composition.

The performances are a bit late for us, children. If you can't stay for the show, do check out the giant satellite dishes at National Museum.
