Octoburst! 2019 – A Children’s Festival
Octoburst is back again with yet another kids festival! This year, you can expect a line-up of interactive performances from around the world and workshops that encourages play and family fun. One of the line-up I am particularly drawn to is Cerita Anak (Child’s Story) where audiences are able to choose experience through 2 different perspectives:
- The inner audience (Passenger) is made up of child and adult pairs who enter the boat as passengers and fully participate in the work.
- The outer audience (Villager) is made up of other family members and older children. They are seated in a typical theatre seating arrangement and watch the work as a piece of theatre.
Date: 4-6 October 2019
Venue: Esplanade Theatre

Did you have a chance to bring to kiddos to the ever famous Children’s Biennale this year? This year’s Children Biennale features 11 imaginative artworks that include activities such as composing your own tunes, braiding giant tresses, wandering beneath massive lanterns, popping into a dome, and more.
