SUMMARY:Kaleidoscope VIII  - Hands Percussion International Drumming Festival
DESCRIPTION:Since its inception in 2009\, Kaleidoscope has grown into a significant cultural event that celebrates the limitless energy\, diversity\, and unifying power of percussion.Inspired by the theme Infinite Beats\, this edition reflects the continuity of rhythm across time\, cultures\, and artistic journeys. Kaleidoscope VIII brings together distinguished percussion artists from Japan and Venezuela\, alongside local performers\, in a programme that highlights both mastery and exploration. While this edition looks forward\, it also builds upon a rich legacy—artists from previous Kaleidoscope editions have\, over the years\, successfully shared their performances and artistic voices with audiences in Malaysia\, shaping the festival’s evolving identity. \nMore than a concert series\, Kaleidoscope VIII is an artistic exchange. Through drums\, gongs\, cymbals\, mallets\, and movement\, performers draw from deep-rooted traditions as well as contemporary practices\, creating a dynamic soundscape that bridges heritage and innovation. Each performance contributes to a larger dialogue\, revealing how rhythm continues to adapt\, resonate\, and connect across cultures. \nFor HANDS Percussion\, Infinite Beats reaffirms its commitment to intercultural exchange\, the development of local talent\, and the ongoing effort to position Malaysia as a vital stage for international performing arts. Beyond the stage\,the festival extends into workshops\, school programmes\, community drum circles\, and artist dialogues—encounters that deepen public engagement and highlight the relevance of percussion in today’s world. \nIn Kaleidoscope VIII\, rhythm flows without limits. Each beat carries memory and momentum\, linking past encounters with new possibilities\, and reminding us of the universal pulse that connects us all.

SUMMARY:Eurydice By Sarah Ruhl
DESCRIPTION:In Eurydice\, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the timeless myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day\, Eurydice must journey to the underworld\, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost life. Filled with contemporary characters\, playful theatricality and rich visual language\, Eurydice is a funny\, fantastical and ultimately heartbreaking exploration of love\, loss and the impossible business of saying goodbye. \nDirected by Ghafir Akbar\, this vibrant new production stars Vinna Law as Eurydice who returns to the Malaysian stage from London\, alongside the formidable trio of Jo Kukathas\, Anne James and Sukania Venugopal forming the deliciously mischievous chorus of the Underworld. Rounding out the versatile cast are acclaimed stage veterans Gavin Yap and Terence Swampillai\, with rising new talent Tinesh Janaki Raman as Orpheus.

SUMMARY:Fork It: One Man’s Journey Through Food & Memories
DESCRIPTION:Moving from London in the early 1980’s\, when English cuisine wasn’t exactly known for being very exciting\, Gavin’s culture shock of his first Kopitiam breakfast served as a huge wake up call – his whole life had changed and he either had to figure out a way to get used to it or get left by the wayside. \nThrough the years\, growing up around resentment and anger and alcoholism\, Gavin gradually learns to understand who he is as a person and a mixed kid and ultimately a Malaysian through these different kinds of food\, and the experiences tied to them\, and how they have shaped him and his choices. \nFork It is a touching and often hilarious examination of identity\, family and belonging\, all seen through the eyes of a man who has in his own words ‘taken nearly forty years to realise the profundity’ of the impact that first Kopitiam breakfast had on him all this years ago.

SUMMARY:The Secret Drawer
DESCRIPTION:A new original Malaysian play presented by The Instant Café Theatre Company in Cantonese\, Mandarin and English with surtitles in English\, Malay & Chinese. \n“When history happens\, no-one is spared.” \nSYNOPSIS\nA man sentenced to imprisonment for his involvement in theatre and social activism starts a theatre program in prison. A man arrested and imprisoned for his involvement in social activism tells his daughter not to follow in his footsteps. Ling Tang and Tiong Wooi\, two performers\, both drawing from deeply personal yet historical family memories.  \nOne\, a secret drawer belonging to a father who tells his daughter it “cannot be opened” – is a source of both fear and excitement for one child. The other\, an archive consisting of nearly 60 official documents and application letters\, ranging from a detention order from 1964 and a banishment order from 1967 to countless applications\, rejections\, and temporary entry permits spanning more than two decades –  remains a matter of unconcern for the child. Until she is forced to open it. \nThese hidden things contain the ideals\, beliefs and hidden identities of their parents. Without the children knowing it they invisibly shape their family lives. \nThrough narrative\, archival material and re-enactments of plays\, poems and songs the two women explore these hidden histories\, tracing how their fathers’ backgrounds flowed into their daughters’ bodies and bloodlines\, contorting and influencing their own identities and aspirations as children – and as artists.  \nThis story is both a search for “the secrets of our fathers” and a dialogue across past and present about history\, legacy and identity. \nThe story also reveals the spirit of the 1960s – the idealism of our forefathers in building a new country. But it is also above all a story about family\, about daughters and mothers and about what was lost\, what was hidden even deeper\, what was never spoken. \n———————————————— \n《一名左翼青年父親的秘密抽屜與一名政治扣留犯父親的求情書》\n「當歷史發生時，無人能置身事外。」 \n故事简介 \n一個因投入劇場與社會運動而被判入獄的男子，在獄中上演了一場舞台劇。另一名因參與社會運動而遭逮捕、監禁的男子，卻叮囑自己的女兒，不要走上他的道路。邓壹龄与林冬辉作为表演者，從兩段極具個人色彩卻又承載歷史的家族記憶中挖掘出一段段的故事。 \n其中一段記憶，是一個屬於父親的祕密抽屜。父親曾告訴女兒這個抽屜「絕對不能打開」，這成為孩子心中恐懼與興奮的源頭；另一人，則從小對家中一整箱近六十份官方檔案毫不關心——從1964年的拘留令、1967年的流放令，到橫跨二十多年的無數申請書、駁回通知與臨時入境許可。直到有一天，她不得不親手打開這段史。 \n這些隱藏的物件，包裹著父母當年的理想、信念與隱密身分。在孩子們毫不知情的情況下，無形地塑造了他們的家庭生活，也深深影響了她們的成長。 \n透過敘事、歷史檔案，以及戲劇、詩歌與歌曲的重新演繹，兩位女性追溯父輩的生命經驗如何流入女兒的身體與血脈，如何扭曲、形塑並影響她們作為孩子，以及作為藝術家的身份認同與生命追求。 \n這個故事既是一場對「父親們的祕密」的旅程，也是一場跨越過去與現在，關於歷史、傳承與認同的對話。 \n故事同時揭示了1960年的時代精神——先輩們在建立新國家時的理想主義。但最重要的是，這是一個關於家庭、關於女兒與母親，關于那些逝去的、隱藏得更深的，以及從未說出口的故事。 \n———————————————— \n“Sejarah tak akan melepaskan kita.” \nSINOPSIS \nSeorang lelaki yang meringkuk di penjara akibat kegiatan teater dan aktivisnya menggerakkan sebuah pementasan teater di balik jeriji besi manakala seorang ayah yang ditangkap dan terpenjara atas paksi perjuangan yang sama\, menitipkan pesanan agar anak perempuannya tidak sekali-kali menjejaki langkahnya. Ling Tang dan Tiong Wooi\, dua seniman menggali memori keluarga yang amat peribadi\, namun sarat dengan tinggalan sejarah.  \nBagi salah seorang daripada mereka\, sebuah laci rahsia yang dilarang dibuka oleh ayahnya menjadi lubuk misteri – mencetuskan sejuta ketakutan sekali gus keterujaan dalam jiwa kecilnya. Bagi seorang lagi\, sebuah arkib yang menyimpan hampir 60 dokumen rasmi dan surat permohonan – merangkumi perintah tahanan tahun 1964\, watikah buang negeri tahun 1967\, hinggalah lambakan permohonan\, penolakan\, serta permit masuk sementara yang menjangkau lebih dua dekad –  sekadar dipandang sepi tanpa sekelumit peduli. Sehinggalah\, takdir memaksanya merungkai lembaran silam itu. \nSegala yang terselubung ini sebenarnya mengunci kemas idealisme\, prinsip\, dan identiti rahsia milik orang tua mereka\, yang tanpa disedari telah mencorak kehidupan keluarga mereka secara halus. Melalui sulaman naratif dan cebisan bahan arkib dengan adunan lakonan teater\, bait puisi\, dan alun senandung\, kedua-dua orang karyawan ini membongkar sejarah terpendam\, menjejak bagaimana pengalaman kedua-dua orang ayah mereka melentur serta memberi watak kepada jati diri dan cita-cita mereka – baik sebagai seorang anak mahupun sebagai seniman.  \nKarya ini bukan sekadar penerokaan “rahsia para bapa\,” tetapi sebuah dialog dramatik merentasi batas waktu yang menghubungkan masa lalu dan masa kini demi memaknai sejarah\, warisan\, dan identiti. \nIni sebuah naskhah yang menyingkap semangat zaman 1960-an – tentang idealisme murni generasi terdahulu membina sebuah negara baharu. ini adalah sebuah naskhah tentang keluarga; tentang ikatan kasih antara anak perempuan dan ibu\, serta tentang apa dan siapa yang telah gugur\, apa yang tertanam jauh di lubuk sanubari\, dan apa yang selamanya terkunci tanpa suara.
