Norwegian Ibsen’s ‘Enemy’, Malaysian-Flavoured

So very rarely do we get a local theatre company, based outside of the peninsula, come over here to present its performance. Front Row gets the opportunity to hear the artistic director of Pitapat Theatre not only detail the performing arts landscape in Kota Kinabalu and Sabah but also about the creation of this performance which echoes Norwegian playwright, Henrik Ibsen’s ‘An Enemy of the People’.


If you’re a theatre practitioner, hear what Soo Ming has to say about growing the audience in far-flung spaces.
