Singapore’s first and only full-time immersive theatrical dining company Andsoforth’s latest production centers around Norse mythology – or more popularly digested by the masses as Thor, Loki , Valkyries and the like. Valhalla and the Chambers of Asgard take places in a secret location (revealed 24 hours before it starts), and you’ll be treated to a five-course meal to prepare for battle alongside the gods, a poetry slam and even a Bifrost bar where you can drink yourself silly. Many of their slots have been sold out, so do yourself a favour and book ahead of time. Details here.

Award-winning filmmaker Lei Yuan Bin’s latest work takes a tender look at the hidden and often overlooked lives of those who have literally built Singapore, such as the many construction workers who live here. If you think about it, they’re often treated with callous indifference, or worse, barely concealed disdain by many – yet they’re an indispensable, living component to the creation of the country. Part of the proceeds from this screening will go towards non-profit organisation Transient Workers Count Too, so get down to it. Details here.

While the exhibition itself actually starts from January 16 to March 31, the outdoor artworks, consisting of these lit up ovoid sculptures at the Dragonfly Lake (among others) are already on display.

Ever wanted to be part of an artwork? Well now you can, by participating in this performance art piece by Amanda Heng – one of Singapore’s pre-eminent performance artists. Heng will be leading a walk using a Five Stone (an inflatable public installation by artist Twardzik-Ching Chor Leng, commissioned for the recent Singapore Bicentennial) by having the audience carry it on their backs in a symbolic reference to the samsui women of yore.
