Over the years, Haw Par Villa has enchanted visitors with its life-like statues and dioramas – in particular, its unforgettable depictions of the 10 Courts of Hell.
To celebrate Haw Par Villa’s Official Relaunch, five Singapore poets will share their original poetry, while musing over their personal connections to the eclectic park. The poets are free to choose what they wish to read, but the audience can expect themes about HPV, concepts of the nether realm, and be inspired by Chinese culture and mythology.
Organised by Yong Shu Hoong, subTEXT is a long-running literary reading series that ran on the first Thursday of each month, from 2001 to 2008, at different venues – Gallery Hotel, The Book Cafe and Central Public Library.
The kind supporter of this event on October 29 is Journeys Pte Ltd, which is the management team of Haw Par Villa since 2015.
