About the performance
In the frame of its Open Day, Alliance Française de Singapour invites children from 5 years old to attend a multicultural, musical and interactive one-hour storytelling program in its theatre.
This storytelling session will be featuring two stories retold with a mixture of French and English, puppetry, and will be accompanied by a live professional musician on the Indian Classical flute.
The first story - The Black Prince of Egypt - is an Egyptian tale about unconditional love. A poor boy falls in love with the King's daughter and has nothing to woo her with except for his flute.
The Moutain that loved a Bird is a picture book by Alice McLerran about making a difference. A lonely, barren mountain befriends a songbird and is transformed.
This is a one-hour bilingual family program. Children aged 5 and older will be welcome on stage unaccompanied to interact with the story, and to plant their seeds on a 3D mountain.
Both stories will be narrated by renowned storytellers Alice Bianchi-Clark and Roger Jenkins, accompanied by composer and performer Raghavendran Rajasekaran on the Indian Classical Flute.
Our thanks to Marcia Quah for her help in painting our 3D mountain and bringing it to life.

Founded in 2019, Cuturi Gallery is a contemporary art gallery based in Singapore with a strong focus on emerging Singaporean talents, many of whom form the core of the gallery ’s roster. While rooted in its local context, Cuturi Gallery also actively collaborates with emerging and established artists across borders, extending its vision beyond Southeast Asia and Asia-Pacific, fostering meaningful exchanges that bridge cultural perspectives between the East and the West. This ongoing dialogue is central to the gallery ’s mission.
In 2020, the gallery launched an in-house residency programme, offering both local and international artists the opportunity to develop new work in Singapore, culminating in a solo presentation. In 2022, Cuturi Gallery began a programme of satellite exhibitions in London, with plans to establish a permanent international outpost by the end of 2026.
In March of 2026, the gallery opened a Parisian space in the heart of the PalaisRoyal, strenghtening its international position and its ambition to foster dialogue between the Asian and European artists it represents, as well as curators and transnational audiences
