Le festival des fantômes affamés, ou Zhongyuan Jie, est un festival traditionnel qui se déroule durant cette période. Pendant un mois, des prières et des évènements de rues sont organisés pour commémorer et servir les ancêtres décédés. Pour apaiser les esprits errants, les chinois offrent des prières, brulent de l’encens, de la monnaie et des cadeaux en papier et organisent des repas somptueux. Rejoignez-nous pour cette visite et venez découvrir comment ce festival est célébré à Singapour. Diana notre guide nous en expliquera les rituels et le symbolisme. La visite commencera par le temple bouddhiste Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, elle se poursuivra dans Chinatown et dans d‘autres quartiers de la ville pour voir comment ce festival est célébré par les taôistes. Visite à pied et en bus, collation diner inclus. TOUR HISTORIQUE DE SINGAPOUR Mercredi 5 septembre 9h15-13h15 Vous venez d’arriver à Singapour ? Cette visite s’impose. Tout en parcourant l’île, Diana notre guide nous parlera de l’histoire de Singapour, de ses sites, de ses bâtiments 2 et de l’origine des noms de rues. Ce tour nous amènera au cœur de l’ancien quartier colonial jusqu’au Mount Faber en passant par Coleman Street, le temple hindou Chettiar, Chinatown et Keppel Harbour sur le chemin du retour. Nous terminerons par un petit déjeuner singapourien. Tour en bus et en français. 10 La Gazette | Juillet - Septembre 2018 Agenda - Visite CHINATOWN ET LE MID-AUTUMN FESTIVAL Mercredi 19 septembre et jeudi 20 septembre 9h30-13h C’est une immersion dans l’histoire de Chinatown que nous vous proposons. Nous visiterons le temple chinois le plus ancien de Singapour. Nous verrons à quel point depuis le début du XIXème siècle 3 l’urbanisme de ce quartier fut façonné par l’administration coloniale et les communautés immigrées chinoises et indiennes. Nous admirerons ensuite les shophouses et découvrirons des échoppes typiques. Enfin, nous gouterons des Mooncakes (gâteaux traditionnels vendus et dégustés pendant le Mid-Autumn Festival) et nous participerons à une cérémonie du thé. Visite à pied. LE QUARTIER DE TIONG BAHRU ET LE FESTIVAL DU DIEU SINGE Jeudi 27 septembre 17h30-21h30 avec diner chinois Tiong Bahru est considéré comme l’un des quartiers les plus branchés de Singapour. Tout le monde aime son charme ancien et son atmosphère hippie moderne. La promenade-visite, guidée par Catalina, dans ce quartier 4 charmant et pittoresque sera l’occasion d’explorer son architecture d’avant-guerre et d’après-guerre, y compris l’un des plus anciens lotissements publics de Singapour, avec ses bâtiments art déco, et d’en apprendre davantage sur l’histoire de Singapour.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 29 August 2014 – for the 11Th Edition of Its Annual Must-See Musical Pantomime, W!LD RICE Is Looking To
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 29 August 2014 – For the 11th edition of its annual must-see musical pantomime, W!LD RICE is looking to the East for inspiration. Monkey Goes West is based on endearing Chinese fantasy classic Journey To The West , as affectionately re-imagined and relocated to modern-day Singapore by W!LD RICE's Resident Playwright Alfian Sa'at. Acclaimed music composer Elaine Chan will compose a brand-new score for the production. “We've always prided ourselves on taking well-loved fairy-tales and giving them a distinctly local twist,” explains Ivan Heng, Artistic Director of W!LD RICE. “We felt that it was time to explore the wealth of literature and adventure available to us from sources closer to home.” Monkey Goes West marks Broadway Beng Sebastian Tan's directing debut with W!LD RICE. No stranger to the W!LD RICE pantomime, Tan has won great acclaim for playing the evil witch in two previous productions ( Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs and Hansel & Gretel ). He is thrilled to be taking on the role of director for Monkey Goes West . “I wanted it to be based on Tripitaka's Journey To The West because, as a kid, this epic story captured so much of my imagination,” says Tan. “We want to bring audiences on a funny, fabulous, fantastical journey!' 1 The elaborate costumes for the pantomime will be designed by Saksit Pisalasupongs and Phisit Jongnarangsin of Tube Gallery, an award-winning design and fashion company based in Bangkok. Singaporeans have seen their work onstage before: 881 The Musical , The Crucible and Glass Anatomy .
