Mana Kuntum!

Presented by Tunas Tari

A story about Kuntum, who always finds excuses not to help her mother, Mak Tanjong with household chores. Despite her laziness, Mak Tanjong dotes on her daughter and showers her with unconditional love. One day whilst reluctantly accompanying Mak Tanjong into the woods to gather firewood to sell, Kuntum takes a rest and sits under a big tree, ignoring her mother..watching from afar. Slowly she falls asleep…

Kuntum awakens to a myriad of animals dancing around her…some attacking her, some surrounding her, some dancing with her, some forcing her to hide trembling with fear. There were Cobras, Wild Horses, Baby Elephants, Turtles, Deers, Chickens and Squirrels with each animal awakening a different emotion in Kuntum. She felt fear, anxiety, guilt, despair, regret and at the same time had moments of delight, surprise, enlightenment and euphoria. All the time Kuntum was lost, she looked tirelessly for her mother, for Mak Tanjong’s comfort and warmth, wishing that she had stayed close to her mother, helping her.

Will the Doves help bring joy and relief by showing Kuntum the way home?…..

Marble Hearts

Commemorating the 400th anniversary of William Shakespeare’s death, The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat’s 2016 Shakespeare Festival presents a modern tragedy “playing in the wings” of William Shakespeare’s King Lear‎.‎ Marble Hearts is a new play that tells the stories of three sisters—Goneril, Regan, and Cordelia—who seek to find their own way in life as their aged and abusive father descends into insanity.

The play intersects with the plot of King Lear at key moments but presents an entirely new perspective on the sisters’ hopes and fears as well as the relentless pursuit of ambition that drives them each towards seemingly inevitable self-destruction—but are they as calculative as they seem? Who is the victim and which of their stories is true?‎

Marble Hearts will feature Shakespeare’s original lines from King Lear and elsewhere as well as new dialogue in prose and modern blank verse.
