No Man’s Land was an immersive theatre unfolding across secret locations.
It was the story about Joo Chiat, a relic of old Singapore etched with the lives of its denizens. Audiences were forced to confront individuals that they would not have the opportunity to otherwise meet, and deal with sensitive social issues.
“Thank you for doing No Man’s Land. It was freaking epic, brilliant, & beautiful for me and my wife.”

“…I feel it is interesting to listen to how politically correct we are and that we can be as ugly as what the script suggests. The discomfort is astonishing, and the honesty in the air is liberating.”

“This experience peels away the pretty layers and forces you to look deeper into what makes up Singapore. The visitors are gently guided into the climax of the experience (the shophouse) — where they suddenly get hit with the gravity of what they have walked into.”
