[Klook Exclusive] Time is a Black Circle by Dawn Ng

Time is a Black Circle is a 25-minute retro music, roller skating experience filled with dancing lights and smoke which pays tribute to the seventies when the Swinging Sixties and Disco Fever were all the rage.

Back in the day, party-goers flocked to the Bras Basah.Bugis (BBB) precinct for live discotheques owned by the likes of Kelong Restaurant and YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association). Of course, the latter’s anthem needs no introduction.

Singaporean artist Dawn Ng has created a “disco time portal”, with a perfectly cylindrical roller skating rink brimming with a symphony of colours and retro melodies. Step into the dancing shoes of your parents and grandparents, and relive a bygone era when influencers of their generations, like The Silver Strings and Rita Chao, painted the town red. Limited seated tickets are also available for this experience.
