LIVE MANGA by Gabez is a strong free-and-easy weekend arts pick at Esplanade’s DBS Foundation Outdoor Theatre. Esplanade lists performances on 6 June at 7pm and 7 June at 8.30pm as part of Flipside.
The act is built around physical comedy and manga-style staging. Esplanade notes that Gabez performed in the Tokyo Olympics Pictogram Performance and won Best Male Performer at the 2024 Asian Arts Awards, which gives the show a more specific hook than a generic outdoor performance.
Performance Notes
The timing is useful for families and casual arts-goers because the outdoor theatre is easy to access from the waterfront. Build in time for weather and crowd changes because Esplanade’s page also records earlier changes to the performance schedule around the festival weekend.
LIVE MANGA should suit viewers who like visual theatre, fast physical jokes and family-friendly performance that does not require a long setup. It is also a good option if you want something lively before or after dinner around Marina Bay.

Who Should Go
This is a low-commitment arts stop for families, visitors and anyone who wants an energetic outdoor performance without buying theatre tickets. The manga framing should make it accessible for younger audiences, while the physical-comedy craft gives adults something to watch too.
Because the performance is outdoors, treat arrival position as part of the experience. Shorter viewers and families with children should reach the theatre area early enough to find a clear line of sight, while groups should agree on a meeting point outside the crowd before the show starts.
