Devised based on the actors’ personal experiences of therapy, Remedy explores the universal themes of how we cope with our daily lives. Working together with a therapist, the play takes a peek behind the closed doors of a therapy session, aiming to make viewers understand and unravel the complexities of human emotions. Show times are at 8.30pm today and tomorrow as well as at 3pm on Sunday at Black Box at Damansara Performing Arts Centre at H-01 Empire Damansara, Jalan PJU 8/8 Damansara Perdana, Petaling Jaya. Tickets are priced at RM45 or RM40 (concession) and are available for purchase via the venue’s website. Visit www.dpac.com.my or call (03) 4065 0001/4065 0002 for more information.

The screening of 2020: An Arrival and KAKAK is the result of a collaborative effort by MyCreative, The Actors Studio and Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre (klpac) with the aim of elevating the Malaysian performing arts industry. The two shows are the winning productions for Theatrix 2016, a performing arts pitch that took place at klpac last September. 2020 is a multidisciplinary performance that tells a story of travelling within the currents of time and utilises science fiction concepts such as relativity of time and multiverse theory. Kakak, on the other hand, follows the story of housemaids (kakak) who indulge in a “ceremony” of role-playing — where they take turns to play the role of mistress — when the mistress is not at home to overcome their oppression. The ceremony gradually changes them, giving them power to execute their murder plan. Admission is free and show times are at 8pm tomorrow and 3pm on Sunday at Pentas 2, Sentul Park, Jalan Strachan off Jalan Sultan Azlan Shah, Kuala Lumpur.
