PROFILES
ORANG ORANG DRUM THEATRE,
Since its establishment in 2013, Orang Orang Drum Theatre’s core members Boyz Chew, Zyee Leow, and Damien Leow have been dancing between music, dance, and theatre, looking for a platform of expression for drum theatre. Bringing a team with them, they participated in the international music festival Sziget Festival 2019, Venice theatre arts festival Venice Open Stage, and Belgium and Germany dance festival Danse en Ville. In recent years, they have brought their troupe to tour at many cultural and dance arts festivals in Europe, such as in France, Hungary and Serbia. Through interactions with traditional cultures, they find their balance between tradition and contemporary.
OODT also explores drum theatre as a new interdisciplinary sub-genre by combining theatrical elements, movements, narratives and multicultural values of the Malaysian society with the percussion tradition.
