Established in 2019 by theatremaker Subramanian Ganesh and a collective of theatre enthusiasts, Agam Theatre Lab is one of Singapore’s newest addition to the evolving landscape of homegrown theatre. Agam’s contribution to the theatre landscape includes cultivating trained theatre practitioners, showcasing high quality theatre productions and growing an audience base beyond the Tamil-speaking public. With a focus on stimulating critical thinking and inspiring constructive self-expression, Agam aspires to create a space where audiences can reflect on the world around them.
Diversity is at the heart of Agam Theatre Lab, with artists hailing from a spectrum of backgrounds— from full-time practitioners and educators to accountants, scientists, army personnel, film producers, and beyond. The company offers a haven for ‘resting’ professional actors to experiment and innovate in a nurturing environment.
Agam's commitment extends beyond the classics; the theatre lab actively supports new writing, aspiring to shine a spotlight on lesser-known playwrights. Moreover, Agam serves as a stage for its own members’ original works, with plans to publish these creations in both hard and digital formats.
A compelling vision drives Agam Theatre Lab to ensure the longevity of Singapore Tamil language theatre by providing a dynamic platform for both youth and adults to curate, market, and stage distinctive intercultural theatre content.
