Programme and line-up

Rafta Rafta means 'slowly, slowly', a fitting phrase for a young marriage finding its footing in Singapore: Atul and Weilin have just married, but their cramped BTO flat soon fills up with well-meaning parents, colourful in-laws and plenty of unspoken expectations. It is directed by Daisy Irani Subaiah and is part of Kalaa Utsavam. (Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, accessed 8 Nov 2026)
