Built on real interviews with individuals connected to Malaysia’s death penalty system — including inmates, family members, lawyers, judges, and the prison community, the production explores the human costs of capital punishment. Using the tools of theatre, movement, projection, and music, the play invites audiences to bear witness to how flawed trials and political whims decide who lives and who dies.
Tickets are on a "pay as you wish" basis, with a minimum contribution of RM5. Contribute in any way that feels right for you! Your presence matters more than the price, but every contribution helps. Everything we make from this play will support creative writing workshops for the prison community.
