Writer Ridhwan Saidi describes his Teater Normcore productions as a “series of seemingly normal stage plays”. The latest addition to the series, Stereo Genmai, is adapted from Ridhwan’s novel, and is a psychedelic adventure about a novelist who goes in search of his lost fictional character. We speak to him, actor Hannan Barakbah, and producer Nurul Aizam about bringing this mind-trip of a story to the stage.
