ARTS PERFORMANCE: KASPAR AT M1
SINGAPORE FRINGE FESTIVAL 2019
The performance of Peter Handke’s Kaspar marks the second
collaboration of NAFA with M1 Singapore Fringe Festival. NAFA is
the only educational institution in Singapore that showcases a
theatrical production by students at an established national-level
festival annually.
Directed by award-winning director Edith Podesta, the performance
of Kaspar enhanced the industry’s perception of NAFA’s Theatre
students. A reviewer from the UK-based FringeReview noted that the
actors were “precise, poised and economic in their movement and
crystal clear in their commands and advice they each give in turn to
Kaspar,” rating the work as a recommended show.
