Show Introduction

Co-created by silat and theatre practitioners, Karta Kata combines traditional arts, movement and soundscapes to create an action-packed experience! The piece combines three different styles of silat, namely Javanese, Baweanese and Bugis.

This performance features theatrical elements from Saiful Amri and sound design by Rayhul Firdaus from the music group 2D. Curated by Rifa’ah and co-created by Radhiansyah, Radili Ramli and Tauriq Jasni, Karta Kata is set to elevate silat into a new plane.

This performance also marks the opening of Pesta Raya’s 21st edition on 26 May, Thursday. Join us live at the Esplanade Forecourt Garden or virtually through our livestream!
