TEWAS: No Light at the End of the Tunnel

“TEWAS: No Light at the End of the Tunnel” is a visceral theatrical experience that exposes the devastating impact of bullying—from school corridors to workplace hierarchies. Through raw storytelling and explosive physical theatre, the work plunges audiences into a fractured world shaped by violence, silence, complicity, and survival.

After its premiere in Penang and a powerful Kuala Lumpur season, “TEWAS: No Light at the End of the Tunnel” now arrives at the George Town Festival. Its Kuala Lumpur presentation garnered seven nominations at the 2025 BOH Cameronian Arts Awards, culminating in a win for Best Group/Ensemble Performance in the Theatre category.

Unflinching yet deeply human, “TEWAS: No Light at the End of the Tunnel” stands as both a performance and a reckoning, a collective scream from those trapped within systems that fail to protect them.

Street Fragments: Jalan Gurdwara

Slow down and look closer, the streets here hold many untold stories beneath their surface. “Street Fragments: Jalan Gurdwara” invites audiences to rediscover one of George Town’s familiar streets through the traces of its layered past. Once known as Brick Kiln Road—named after brick kilns whose exact locations have long been forgotten—today’s Jalan Gurdwara takes its name from the century-old Sikh temple that continues to stand as a landmark of the neighbourhood.
