Rachita Arke

Friends in Singapore do catch Mystical Myths if your’re looking for something different and magical . 4 intriguing stories, 4 super talented directors and a stellar cast!
Monisha Charan- Congratulations! Loved it !

Captivating actors and mystical stories…It was a fantastic experience watching amazing production ‘MYSTICAL MYTHS’

Payal Thakurani

Just watched Mystical myths by Izaara at Goodman Arts Centre – a bouquet of four folk tales directed by very four talented people. I can’t rave enough about the performances of the entire cast – top notch!!! Beautiful production and amazing talent. Just two more shows to go tomorrow and Sunday – please do go see it if you enjoy good theatre. Tickets details are in the poster below.

Atima Joshi

Principal

Risk-taking in theatre and presenting something new is always fraught with doubts and uncertainties. Yet it is this risk taking which breaks the mould and discovers new possibilities.

Monisha Charan, your Mystical Myths stood out due to its distinct vision of reaching out to the local audiences. Bringing the Chinese, the Malay, the Indian and the Western plays together was a beautiful weave that represented Singapore’s inherent fabric. I absolutely loved the ‘lady white serpent’, ‘the tape’ gave me goosebumps, the malay story brought a twisted taste of anger, dismay and pity (the actors were outstanding!), and the Indian myth Aravan was one I had not heard of before. Loved the grace Siddhi and her partner brought to the show. Take a bow Monisha! Well done.

Michelle Mcfarlane

Last night my Husband and I among a few other members and friends attended Mystical Myths produced by Monisha Charan of Izaara at Goodman Arts Centre. Mystical Myths is made up of four folk tales directed by 4 extremely talented local directors. The performances, had many emotions it left us mesmerised. Great performance from the entire cast. Book your tickets for this great production and see amazing local talent tell their mystical myth.

A Fan

It was a great evening, and left me enthralled and appreciative of the tales.It made me realize how valid they remain even in today’s world. No wonder the show ran to two full houses, and I look forward to a reprise soonest.

Manjula Bains

Panchatantra A Moral Compass – a gentle reminder to adults of the plotted conspiracies stemming from personal insecurities that can threaten one’s creativity & have damaging repercussions . It’s interesting how people can be influenced to believe the Gossip , the Negative & even enjoy a laugh , without ascertaining facts . But as we all know , the Truth outshines every lie ultimately . Enjoyed all the Characters & stories of Panchatantra.

Alfrieda

I was not sure what to expect but found I enjoyed myself. There was good application of the morals and values to today’s life and done in a fun manner. The cast were all good and particularly the tree whose eye expressions and tone I found very engaging.

Abhineeka Mitra

Fabulous acting , Storyline really good and with a strong message too.

Vaishali Kulkarni

Good show Monisha ????????

We all enjoyed it throughly.Wish you all the success????

Rohina Singh

Hey Monisha, Great show and a great job by the cast ????????

Prerna Rajpal

Monisha, must acknowledge ur cast is very strong! We all Enjoyed the show last evening. .Looking forward to more evenings like this.

Rajesh Baran

Panchtantra stories are based on black and white. They do not differentiate grey, but in contemporary times, to pick up a line from your main protogonist, fifty shades of grey or green, the play had its absolute relevance. Portrayed well, questioned and enacted well and definitely enjoyed by us.

Raina

Everybody enjoyed the show and all the kids had their own chosen favorite character!! I loved the concept. Thank you for a memorable day and must say the venue was beautiful!!

Alpana Ahuja

Hi Monisha

It has been a pleasure working with you.

Sandeep Patnaik

IZAARA Cup: The name is as stylish as the game and its format. With some exquisite teams performing it is not about cricket but a full day of fun, frolic and entertainment. Thanks to the organizers, Monisha & Abhay especially for handling this in such a manner. The entire crew is such a good sport and gives a personal touch to all participants at all times making them feel comfortable. At the end just to say, although it’s a game and there is win and loss, but in Izaara every participant is a winner. Cheers and good luck Monisha and Abhay for such a great tournament.

P.S: Not to forget amidst the COVID i would say one of the best organized tournament in Singapore.

Monisha is positive, intuitive, pragmatic and an empathetic listener who has found her calling as a trained transformational life coach. Her reflections through her life experiences show up through her coaching and her insights as an entrepreneur were very helpful to me. Her caring guidance helped me move on and see light at the end of the tunnel. I would highly recommend her as a life coach.

Monisha’s method of coaching is empowering and uplifting. By helping me reframe my mindset and challenging me to question myself, Monisha helped me break through barriers that I didn’t even know were holding me back. She has the ability to step into the shoes of a millennial and contextualise with absolute ease. I’ve seen progress both personally and professionally – she is my go-to!

AAUDAZ MARITIME, Singapore

Aaudaz Maritime celebrated its 5th Anniversary in October 2023 and Izaara was tasked to conceptualise and manage the event. From shortlisting the venue to handling the menu, drinks and door gifts, Izaara left no stone unturned in ensuring the event went smoothly. I was personally impressed with their pro-active approach and being with us till the very end. I could enjoy my event without having to worry about anything and in fact received great feedback from my guests regarding the event. Izaara ensured costs were within budget, guests were looked after and the host himself also got to enjoy the party! We will definitely use Izaara for all future corporate events.
