On a trip to Kranji, three children find themselves lost on The Feelings Farm where emotions are shifting landscapes they must learn to journey through, both together and alone. Guided by the mysterious Cloud, they tumble through the Jungle of Joy, brave the Field of Fear, sail across the Swamp of Sadness, and explore other familiar feelings. Come along for a magical adventure that will surprise and move you.

The Feelings Farm uses music, movement, poetry and multimedia to help children name and understand emotions with compassion. The play draws from real experiences of children in Singapore and hopes to give children and adults alike the language to have honest conversations about our feelings.

The Feelings Farm was first produced by Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay and presented in 2021 as part of March On.
