Water Fools - of Water, Lights and Fire

Today marks the opening of the month-long Singapore Arts Festival, and crowds had gathered on the banks at Boat Quay by 8pm to watch the opening act of Water Fools, by French street theatre troupe Ilotopie, featuring 15 actors acting out a mystical storyline involving water, lights and fire.

But dues to the smallness and distant of the act, not much could be make out by the curious audience. Thankfully, the lights of fireworks save the day and kept everybody happy.

This would certainly be a busy and interesting month to come with the opening of the Arts Festival coinciding with the yearly Great Singapore Sales (GSS) and month-long school holiday.

3 Cheers for the proposed 400 free outreach events for the Arts; i've enjoyed them for the past years and this time should be no different. But do be prepared to sweat though, for all the public events put up to entertain and draw crowds.

Arts are great manifestation of human inspiration and spirit.
