Checkpoint Theatre

"Singapore's multi-disciplinary Checkpoint Theatre, already a repository of much of the territory's best stage talent..."
- Financial Times (UK)

Checkpoint Theatre was founded in 2002 in Singapore. Its Joint Artistic Directors, Claire Wong and Huzir Sulaiman, are both directors, actors, and writers, and they bring this multi-disciplinary approach to Checkpoint's work.

Checkpoint's focus is on the marriage of strong writing and acting - the traditional foundations of theatre - to the creative aesthetics of new media and technology.

With rigorous technique, Checkpoint makes art with a strong sense of craft, respecting the intelligence of audiences and challenging them aesthetically. Connecting in ways both beautiful and intellectually honest.

The work is varied in theme and form: socio-political satire, explorations of history and memory, verse texts, chamber opera, collaborations with regional artists, rapid-fire comedy, powerful music and arresting imagery. All united by an attention to detail and integrity of performance.
