What does it take to keep the arts alive? For the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (KLPAC), it means constant innovation, collaboration, and a touch of magic. Their latest effort, Laugh, Love, Give with Harith & Friends, is a fundraising variety show aimed at supporting the centre’s mission as it heads into its 20th anniversary. We’re joined by Artistic Director and Co-Founder Joe Hasham and Group General Manager Ian Chow to explore the challenges of sustaining the arts, the importance of this event, and their vision for the future of performing arts in Malaysia.
