Fragments of Tuah

Part history, part myth, and part mystery, Hang Tuah has stood at the centre of our imagination for generations. But in Fragments of Tuah, that familiar tale is broken apart and examined through music, performance, and archival research, revealing surprising gaps, silences, and contradictions. Presented by Five Arts Centre, we find out more about this new documentary theatre work from co-creators Mark Teh and Faiq Syazwan Kuhiri, and discuss how they pieced this project together.
