Mati-mati (J’aime Ma Mère)

Two figures of folklore, in conflict over an impossible task. Two brothers of blood, wrestling with the ghosts of their mutual past. And in between the muddied lines of myth and memory, a door keeps knocking.

Directed by Christopher Ling and written by Arsyad Azrai, ‘Mati-mati (J’aime Ma Mère)’ tells an enthralling tale about grief, obsession, and the quiet violence of wanting things to be different than they used to be. As the story unfolds and its secrets come to light, one truth remains clear:

Nothing stays buried for long.

Advisory: This show contains foul language, graphic depictions of violence and mentions of domestic abuse. There will also be smoke effects used in the play. Viewer discretion is advised.

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.
