Bersih rallies, Merdeka parade, and the people
Why theatre? Theatre is irrelevant in Malaysia. That's what I am told, more often than not whenever someone discovers that I am a Theatre for Development practitioner. Yet, Malaysia saw what could be considered as one of her largest community theatre ‘performance’, in the form of a rally, that saw thousands of participants and reached a great many audience (local and international) recently - the Bersih 4 rally.
