A Light in KL City
Directed by Rey Buono
Featuring music by Mia Palencia.

A Light in KL City tells the story of ordinary people living in KL who have become stuck; stuck in a job, or a relationship, in a moment of their lives. In a city flooded with artificial lights, so many are still searching for a light to guide them.
This Christmas, the Electric Minds Project presents the tale of four strangers who have found the world fallen out from under their feet, who have become lost in the darkness.
But it is only by shadows that we can see the light.

I still have not gotten my own camera. I know, I know. That should not be an excuse anymore but it is true. So once again, my postings are delayed. Here are shots from Short+Sweet which happened in mid August.

Featuring Juria Toramae, Pammi Sidhu, Kelvin Wong, Bella Rahim, Nita Isma, Sani Zainal Abidin, Shirin Jauhari, Gregory Sze and Branavan Aruljothi

They carry their bags to school, back home, and then to school again. Heavier and heavier, until it becomes too heavy to move.

There is a fight in the school between Brana, Shirin and Kelvin. The parents are called in to investigate as the teachers have no clue on who to punish. Join the teachers, students, and parents as they uncover details of that fateful day when they fight happened, as they travel through Moral lesson, history lesson, PE and other periods to discover the truth, and ultimately find out what made the students break out! 8 Ways to Lighten the School Bag is a humourous look at our country, its systems, and our education. What’s your education?

The play was written through KLPac’s inaugural Community Writing Project – an attempt to involve the community in theatre making. Through a 3-month workshop, the participants played, wrote and are now acting in a play they wrote together.
