Chef Ivan Brehm is adding a theatrical element to the dining experience at his Michelin-starred Singapore restaurant, Nouri, according to a report from CNA Lifestyle.
The outlet describes a dinner service where Brehm takes on the role of an actor, performing as guests eat. The report frames the meal as a hybrid event—part dinner, part play—hosted at the restaurant.
Nouri has held a Michelin star, and Brehm’s latest move appears to be an effort to push the boundaries of what a restaurant visit can offer. CNA Lifestyle’s coverage highlights how the chef is stepping out of the kitchen to engage directly with diners through performance, rather than limiting his role to food preparation.
The concept blends the culinary and performing arts, with the meal itself serving as the stage. According to the report, the experience is designed so that the action unfolds while patrons are seated for dinner, making the performance an integral part of the evening rather than a separate attraction.
CNA Lifestyle’s piece focuses on the novelty of the format, noting that Brehm’s participation as an actor is a central feature. The report does not specify whether this is a one-off event or a recurring offering, nor does it detail the menu or the play’s narrative.
For those following Singapore’s dining scene, the question now is whether this fusion of theatre and fine dining will become a lasting fixture at Nouri or remain a limited experiment.
