Created in collaboration with contemporary teahouse CHAGEE, this multi-sensory journey engages all five senses (and even a “sense of thought”) across five themed zones. In one gallery, inhale the aromas of teas from around the world; in another, feel the weight of archaic 300-year-old tea tools in your hands. You can listen to an ASMR soundscape of tea being brewed and poured – surprisingly soothing, we must say. The visual centrepiece is a stunning installation of paper art tea leaves seemingly floating in mid-air. There’s even an outdoor CHAGEE pop-up along the river where you can sip modern tea drinks and snag exclusive merch like horse-themed plushies.

Get ready to grip your seat as tightrope walkers teeter impossibly high in the air, contortionists twist into pretzel-like shapes, and aerialists defy gravity with every flip and spin. In classic Cirque style, it’s not all serious – comedic characters and clowns weave through the show, eliciting belly laughs between the gasps. The storyline follows an innocent loner in a world of surprises (think Alice in Wonderland vibes), making it a whimsical, family-friendly ride from start to finish. With vibrant costumes, live music, and performers who seem downright superhuman, KOOZA is the circus reimagined. Don’t be surprised if you walk out feeling like anything is possible – or with an urge to try a cartwheel on your way to the carpark.

14. Nafas dan Bumi – An Endless Harvest
Now until 31 May 2026
Dive into the world of contemporary art and sustainability with this thought-provoking installation at the Singapore Art Museum (SAM). Nafas dan Bumi – An Endless Harvest showcases works by Indonesian artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega, exploring the environmental cost of economic growth in our modern world. The exhibition’s title means “Breath and Earth” in Indonesian, hinting at its focus on how our planet’s resources (and people) are stretched in the name of progress. Inside, you’ll find an immersive environment that blends kinetic sculptures, multimedia art and even living plants. Marvel at dramatic palm oil and batik sculptures depicting plantation labourers and the legacy of colonisation. Interact (carefully) with mechanical installations powered by biofeedback from real plants – yes, the flora itself drives parts of the art! It’s trippy, eye-opening and eerily beautiful. Wandering through, you’ll reflect on questions like: what mark will today’s consumer products leave on tomorrow’s world? And can the “endless harvest” of Earth’s resources truly go on… endlessly? Heavy questions, but delivered in a visually stunning way that will leave you both inspired and a little more eco-conscious.

You’ll discover how the peacock symbolises everything from beauty and dignity in Chinese culture to immortality in Persian lore.

Tech elements add extra fun – there are holographic displays teaching you about different peacock species (did you know there’s a white peacock?) and interactive stations where you can “design” your own digital peacock pattern. Whether you’re an art lover, culture buff, or just think peacocks are darn cool, this exhibit is a feast for the eyes (all thousand of them). Don your most colourful outfit and strut in – you might leave feeling as proud as a peacock!
