RAT & Projek KoKEN: Tanda – Teater Kompilasi Vol. 3, PJ

image

Tanda, the 3rd of Rumah Anak Teater & Projek KoKEN’s compilations of works, was recently stopped from staging at the ASWARA (the government’s art school) after two days. The reasoning from ASWARA is hilarious, if not tragic.

Read about it here: Malay Mail

However, that didn’t stop the group to get on with it. The play is now staging at Petaling Jaya’s PJ Live Arts. Details on the flyer.
