RUMAH KOSONG

Rooted in the poetic world and social consciousness of A. Samad Said, Rumah Kosong brings to life a deeply moving story of a home shaped by history, separation, and longing.

Set between past and present, the performance traces fragments of lives disrupted by war and migration—where a village like Belimbing, a mother’s memory, and a rumah pusaka become symbols of identity and loss. Voices overlap, time shifts, and what was once lived begins to resurface through movement, rhythm, and haunting sound.

As characters journey through absence and remembrance, the house itself stands as a silent witness—holding stories of love, sacrifice, and the pain of leaving.

Blending poetic text, ensemble performance, and evocative staging, Rumah Kosong is an immersive theatrical experience that resonates with anyone who has ever left something behind.

A tribute to the enduring power of memory—and to the literary legacy of A. Samad Said—this is a story that lingers long after the stage goes dark.
