Hungry

Candles, food, incense and joss paper.

Every year in Malaysia, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month in the traditional Chinese calendar, we see thousands of these roadside offerings neatly placed around our neighbourhoods. Many of us walk away from them quickly, just to be safe, to give the spirits their moment of privacy. But what happens if we step closer? What will we witness when we tread the line between the living and those who have passed?

Directed by Christopher Ling, ‘Hungry’ is the latest offering from award-winning Singaporean playwright Desmond Sim, his first in eleven years. It tells a tale about a family of four forced to confront the weight of love and loss, all while bringing back to life stories of their buried hopes, forgotten dreams, and the all-too familiar craving for the human connection, one that may never be sated in a single lifetime.

We invite you to come and feast with us. To memory. To compassion.

Age Limit: 13 years old and above.

About TAS Seni Teater Rakyat
Since its inception in 1989, The Actors Studio has been presenting groundbreaking theatre in Malaysia. In 2006, it created The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat arm to bridge the gap between the arts and the people in line with the National Arts and Culture Department’s efforts to ‘merakyatkan seni’.

The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat’s inaugural project was Alfian Sa’at’s “Anak Bulan di Kampong Wa’ Hassan” which toured to five villages in Peninsular Malaysia. Since then, it has re-staged many classics such as “Philadelphia, Here I Come!”, “Uda dan Dara” and “Rashomon”. It has also revived interest in traditional art forms through productions like “A Night of Cantonese Opera” and “Mak Yong Titis Sakti”.

The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat has also been a key driver behind the development of new content. It has premiered works such as “The Taste of Water”, “Kandang” (based on George Orwell’s Animal Farm), a BM version of Harold Pinter’s “Betrayal” and “Dato’ Seri” (based on Macbeth). In addition to on-going series like “Don’t Let...” and “Dancebox” to promote new content, it also initiated The New Play Project for emerging playwrights.

In 2016, it mounted a year-long Shakespeare 400 season. Two productions “Shakespeare Goes Bollywood” and “Richard III” was named the “Best of 2016” by the BOH Cameronian Arts Awards. Richard III won 6 other awards. The Actors Studio Seni Teater Rakyat continues to bring quality and accessible theatre with a strongly Malaysian voice. The Actors Studio just celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2019.
