While Pixar has been slowly going downhill a bit (remember when every single Pixar film hit?), this family movie is joyful, hilarious and will bring many people to tears. It follows best friends Jo (H. E. R) and Raissa (Liza Soberano) as they find themselves stuck in the mysterious world of Nakali. Based on Filipino folklore, the pair encounter different monsters, creatures and animals along the way. In a sort of mashup of The Hangover and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Jo and Raissa can't remember what happened the night before. Soon, they face a harsh truth: if they don't return home, they may forget the most important memory of all... their friendship. Entertainment writers Bernice Corral and Rachel Choy sat down to discuss Forgotten Island, including what made it so memorable (we won't be forgetting Forgotten Island!), how meaningful it was to see the Philippines portrayed in a positive light, and whether it's going to be the next big hit. Rachel Choy: Did you know much about Forgotten Island before going to watch it?

In August 2019, Omar Rajeh sat in his bedroom, listening to the sound of pounding percussion with his world in crisis. In the midst of political instability, Citerne Beirut, a theatre and cultural centre Rajeh had founded in his native Lebanon, was forced to close, dismantled by order of the local government, who planned to build an incinerator on the site. Heartfelt … Omar Rajeh in Dance Is Not for Us. Photograph: Tristram Kenton/the GuardianRajeh tells us that as a teenager, coming of age at the end of the Lebanese civil war, dance had always seemed like the most revolutionary thing he could do. Now here he is, more than three decades later, still dancing – out of frustration, defiance, resistance and a desire to connect. As the percussive score gains momentum, Rajeh’s busy body builds up a sweat. In this danced stream of consciousness, Rajeh is not always an especially elegant mover, but he dances like it’s a necessary thing to do. Part of this year’s Dance Umbrella festival, Dance Is Not for Us is a solo that appears at times like an explosion of physical instinct, but it is mostly calm, considered musings on the nature of choreography, with all its workings exposed.

Sarah Kane revolutionised British theatre with five provocative plays written between 1995 and 1999. Her final work, 4.48 Psychosis, was her most personal, confronting the clinical depression she struggled with for years. The play was first performed posthumously in 2000, after she died by suicide in 1999. The Royal Opera and Guildhall School of Music and Drama commissioned Philip Venables to adapt the play as an opera, which debuted in 2016. The composer, also known for a certain “in-yer-face” approach, set Kane’s original text almost entirely, realising its 24 disjointed sections in a raw, imaginative score teeming with minimalist licks, prickly synth-pop and consoling nods to the baroque. The libretto shifts between poetic abstraction and scathing exchanges between a patient and a psychologist. An ensemble of six female singers navigates themes of depression, isolation and the agonising choices surrounding medication. One fractured personality … Sophia Burgos, Veena Akama-Makia, Hannah Edmunds and Jacquelyn Stucker in 4.48 Psychosis.
