Something stirs in the dark.

Not quite object. Not quite human.

Inspired by the traditional bubu, Lukah transforms the familiar into something else, where body and form begin to blur.

A quiet presence. A lingering memory.

Watch closely.

๐ŸŒ™ A Special Appearanceโ€ฆ Unrevealed

Not every story is introduced.

Some are meant to be discovered.

For SASANAKALA, one performance remains in shadow, a presence yet to be revealed.

No names. No faces.
Only a glimpse.

Who are they?

Youโ€™ll have to be there to find out.

Haizam Azman โ€” Lukah

From shadow, something begins to move.

A form. A presence.
Almost human.

Lukah draws from the traditional Bubu dance of Perak, where a simple fish trap becomes more than an object, taking on life through rhythm, gesture, and imagination.

Guided by circular movement and the pulse of drumbeats,
the body enters into dialogue with form, blurring the line between object and being.

In this space, memory stirs.
Ritual lingers.

And something long familiar feels newly alive.

In this glimpse, fragments begin to surface. A name, a memory, a presence that lingers.

Varushaali draws from voices carried through song,
reflecting on the lives of women whose stories remain unseen, yet deeply felt.

Through movement, these echoes take form. Not to complete the story, but to remember that it exists.

Watch closely.
Feel what remains.

WindRiver Productions

Some names remain. Others fade into silence.

For SASANAKALA, WindRiver Productions presents:
Varushaali

A name carried through song, found within fragments of voices once sung across the plantations of colonial Malaya.

Who was she?
Or perhaps...... who were they?

Inspired by research from filmmaker Gogularaajan Rajendran, Varushaali reflects on the lives of Malaysian-Indian women whose stories of labour, longing, and endurance remain largely untold.

Through movement shaped by classical and folk vocabularies, the work becomes an offering, a way of remembering, questioning, and giving form to voices that continue to echo across time.

A presence imagined.
A history felt.

Geris Sumayau

Some histories do not disappear loudly.

They fade.
They merge.
They remain... quietly.

For SASANAKALA, Geris Sumayau presents:

Jejak Sunyi: The Jawi Peranakan of Penang

A reflection on a community once woven into the fabric of early Penang, the Jawi Peranakan, known for their roles in trade, publishing, and Islamic scholarship.

Through restrained and contemplative movement, the work traces a subtle transformation where identity is not erased through conflict, but gently absorbed into the present.

What remains are fragments.
Echoes.
Traces that linger in silence.

A quiet remembering.
