A MALAYSIAN FOLKTALE: SANG KANCIL - HARIMAU'S FUNERAL Comes to PJPAC

With the support of PJPAC, KL Shakespeare Players will be offering a new series of monthly live-and-interactive storytelling, starting on the first Sunday in March at 2pm and 3:30pm. 

A new folktale will be offered the first Sunday of subsequent months, running through to December 2024. 

Each month, KLSP will feature a story from a selected country. 

In these sessions, two actors, accompanied by projected illustrations and animations, tell a famous folktale. At key points in the storytelling, the actors interact with the audience through songs, dances and discussion. 

The illustrations and animations, used in these family-friendly shows, are all beautiful original works created by local artists.  

The 2024 season will start with a Malaysian Folktale--Sang Kancil: Harimau’s Funeral

SYNOPSIS
