Running from 21 August to 5 September, Armenian Street and Peranakan Museum come alive after dark as a world spun from myth and wonder. Inspired by Southeast Asian folklore, Peranakan stories and fictional worlds, visitors can explore a range of free and ticketed experiences, from immersive art installations and live performances to creative workshops, markets and community-led programmes. Highlights include:
-
The Great Mythical Stampede: Step into an immersive world by CHUNKIE, where mythical creatures from the Peranakan Museum’s collection break free from the objects they inhabit. Winged horses soar from carved wood, lion-dogs leap from porcelain, and phoenixes burst from embroidered silk as Armenian Street becomes a portal to “elsewhere”.
-
The Other Night: Wander through a marketplace of myth, magic and mischief, presented by Wormhole and friends. Meet fortune tellers, makers and wandering storytellers, and browse a curious selection of wares from independent local vendors across four evenings.
-
The Somewhere Else Stage: Armenian Street transforms into a crossroads of music, dance and theatre, with four nights of performances spanning Dikir Barat, live improvisation, dream-pop, Arabic music, Chinese opera, noise rock, bellydance and puppetry. The line-up features local and regional acts including Kelana Purba, Shye, The Samrah Club, Tok Tok Chiang, Krunkle, NADA and Yogyakarta-based Papermoon Puppet Theatre.
-
Step into the Wayang with Gunong Sayang: Follow performers from Gunong Sayang through the Peranakan Museum’s galleries in an immersive Wayang Peranakan experience, as song, dance and theatre bring the museum’s stories to life.
