★★★★★ Review: Geng Rebut Cabinet (GRC) by Teater Ekamatra

Timely, charged play that skilfully skewers the pitfalls of politics, and how change is almost impossible from within. Politicians have never had it easy. On one hand, they have to ensure that they gain the adoration of the citizens such that they can secure the popular vote and remain in power. On the other hand, how much change can they actually achieve, as they compromise … Continue reading ★★★★★ Review: Geng Rebut Cabinet (GRC) by Teater Ekamatra

★★★☆☆ Review: One Day We’ll Understand 有那么一天​ by Sim Chi Yin

Performance-lecture on biased historiography and hidden knowledge urges us to critically reconstruct our interpretations to formulate our own version of the truth. The Malayan Emergency in the late 1940s continues to remain a traumatic memory for many Chinese Malaysians, where families would recall relatives hurriedly leaving the country, or worse – hauled away for questioning over suspected Communist relations, and never seen again, at least, … Continue reading ★★★☆☆ Review: One Day We’ll Understand 有那么一天​ by Sim Chi Yin

Rizman Putra is probably best known for being one of the most high-energy performers in the local theatre scene.
