Arts of Malaysia: An interview with writer/director Ridhwan Saidi on Teater Normcore – Odisi Romansa

There is something fitting about the long journey of Teater Normcore: Odisi Romansa, a play about distance, time, and memory that itself had to wait years before reaching the stage. First written in 2019, the production was disrupted by the pandemic, before finally returning in 2026. And for playwright-director Ridhwan Saidi, that passage of time was never something to erase. “I wrote Odisi Romansa back … Continue reading Arts of Malaysia: An interview with writer/director Ridhwan Saidi on Teater Normcore – Odisi Romansa

Demystifying the backstage and paying tribute to the unseen parts of production In line with Emergency Stairs’ ethos, Backstage Protocol, part of the NAFA Industry Project 2026 by Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and Emergency Stairs, leans fully into uncertainty, trading narrative clarity for process, and polish for possibility.

★★★★☆ Theatre Review: The Christians by Wild Rice

Hell is other Christians. The Christians arrives as one of the most unexpected entries in Wild Rice’s 2026 programming, and perhaps one of its most surprisingly provocative. A company long associated with sharp political critique, queer advocacy, and a willingness to satirise conservative structures, this is a show that feels almost disarming in its restraint.
