Nestled within the historic Keretapi Tanah Melayu stesen (KTM) in the heart of Kuala Lumpur, lies a canvas of untold narratives and inherent beauty awaiting exploration. UOW Malaysia orchestrated an extraordinary event in collaboration with esteemed partner universities, including UM, UiTM, UPSI, ASWARA, and KTM, titled “Satu Petang: Persembahan On-Site di KTM Kuala Lumpur” on November 24, 2023.

Far beyond a mere event, it was an artistic venture aimed at delving into the historical, economic, social, and environmental dimensions of KTM through the unique lens of a site-specific performance. Collaborating with KTM and esteemed partner universities, the students took on the role of architects, ensuring an intimate connection with the historical richness of KTM.

The performances transcended boundaries through collaborative artistry. UOW Malaysia presented "Hello and Goodbye,” featuring synergy of five dancers and four vocalists. Meanwhile, UM mesmerized spectators with "The Same Time at 17:19," an exhilarating piece executed by four talented students. UPSI evoked powerful emotions with "Still here but...," a heart-rending dance performed by three dancers. UiTM delivered an exciting performance titled "With you we go," executed by eight energetic students. ASWARA showcased the mesmerising "Pulang Tiba," performed with emotions by two skilful students.
