Breaking down barriers and revealing the connections latent in the melting pot of languages

The multi-lingual, multicultural play was created by theatre practitioners, lecturers, students and director Oi Min Wong of ASWARA (National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage). It deftly uses the physical movements of sport to present Malaysiaʼs ethnic diversity. Director Oi Min Wong adopts certain sports, such as soccer, basketball and badminton to explore stereotypes, family bonds, and ethnic divisions as depicted by playwright Suri Liu. In addition to the presentations, there are also lectures about Malaysian culture and society, and opportunities for audiences to exchange their opinions on the subject of the play.
