Situated between a memory play, text-based abstraction and book readings, oscillating between fiction and reality, this performance is based on the six novels written by Ridhwan Saidi from 2011 to 2015.
The performance will be performed by an ensemble of seven individuals: Roshafiq Roslee, Sadiq M. Jamil, Meier Wee, Adena Sams, Archana Pillai, Nurul Aizam & Lee Qi.
