RUMAH’S Solidarity Project

During the pandemic, RUMAH initiated a digital project called Rumah’s Solidarity Project, to introduce Singapore Malay theatre works to a new and wider audience. 

The project will showcase prominent Singapore Malay playwrights and actors such as Nadiputra, Alfian Sa’at, Zizi Azah, Aidli ‘Alin’ Mosbit, Sani Hussin and many more. 

The project showcases a collection of excerpts from past Singapore Malay plays. They have been chosen and contributed by the playwrights. And the performers were given the freedom to craft a performance to suit the digital platform.
