No iPad. A busy mum. And only each other for company. For Gor Gor and Mei Mei, it sounds like the worst afternoon ever, until imagination takes over.
Part of Esplanade's PLAYtime!, an interactive theatre series for children aged 3 to 6, Together follows two siblings as they turn their HDB flat into a world of spontaneous adventure.
Ordinary corners of the home transform into portals to new places, proving that a little imagination can change everything.
This 45 minute interactive play captures the messy, relatable reality of growing up together. Your little ones will see how Gor Gor and Mei Mei navigate conflict, practice active listening, and eventually find common ground.
It’s a heart warming look at how play helps children understand one another and build empathy.
