Masood Boomgaard performs as Self-Help Singh, an alter ego who fuses stand-up comedy, parody and faux motivational speaking into a sharp, character-driven show. His sharp stage persona amplifies timely observations. With dry humour and plainspoken common-sense, he dismantles self-improvement clichés and exposes modern anxieties through carefully observed gags and storytelling. The performance balances wit and unexpected tenderness, inviting reflection as much as laughter.

Frank Martin’s opera La Tempête, after Shakespeare with a libretto by August Wilhelm von Schlegel and Johann Ludwig Tieck, returns in a new French-language production.

The cast brings poetic intensity to the island’s drama—Miranda, Caliban and the spirit Ariel—blending vocal nuance, atmospheric design and inventive staging to revisit exile, magic and reconciliation.
