It is clear from the start that the authors have done more than their fair share of research into the tale of two Malaccan warriors and more interestingly, how difficult it is to ascertain its historicity. Al Hafiz tells me Sejarah-Ku was first conceived four years ago at university. The playwright … Continue reading Review: Sejarah-ku by Toy Factory (The Wright Stuff 2017)

Review: The Roundest Circle by Theatreworks

The Roundest Circle is a performance created by TheatreWorks Associate Artist Eng Kai Er, in collaboration with fellow dance artists Faye Lim and Felicia Lim. The piece is process-driven and fuelled by the concept of “turn-taking”; the artists have broken away from the conventional structure of having a leader curate, choreograph and direct the process of performance making.
