Kaki Seni - Orang Orang Drum

Orang Orang Drum Theatre
Drums produce a sound so raw and primitive as if we are listening to our own heartbeat. How can we use this sound that is so familiar to help us tells a story? Well, maybe theatre is one of the places where it should belong. More possibilities could be developed when a drum is placed in a theatre. And so we called it Drum Theatre. Orang Orang Drum Theatre seeks to explore new possibilities in theatre performing through the use of drums as well as using theatre performing to redefine the artistic values of drumming. “Hidup ini Senget” is a production in parallel with the research of the “Drum Theatre” concept. Therefore, the production has combine drumming, physical movements as well as other theatre elements to provide an artistic visual and auditory sensory experience to the audience.
Orang Orang Drum Theatre was founded by Chew Soon Heng (Boyz) and Leow Sze Yee (Zyee). Both of them performed with world renowned performing group – Hands Percussion for more than ten years. In April of 2013, they decided to venture out and formed Orang Orang Drum Theatre, which combines drumming, body movements and theatre to create their own unique works.
