Singapore International Festival of Arts’ new festival director Gaurav Kripalani on curating a programme for the next generation
GAURAV KRIPALANI HAS FOND MEMORIES OF THE Singapore Arts Festival, including watching a theatrical adaptation of Macbeth by acclaimed Japanese director Yukio Ninagawa in 1992. “I don’t recall watching a Shakespeare production in Singapore that blew me away like that. But seeing Shakespeare in an Asian context, where Birnam Wood was a cherry blossom forest and soldiers were samurais, changed my perception of the scale that it can be done. The festival shaped my appreciation and taste for the arts, and broadened my artistic horizon.”
