Synopsis

Coming-of-age poems meet your favourite jiwang (emotional Malay love songs) classics.

 

This is quiet heartbreak.

This is stadium-sized sentimentality.

This is the healing power of kinship and community.

 

These are the songs we inherit,

and these are poems for a new generation of true yearners.

 

Multidisciplinary artist nor teams up with DJ C2AC and multi-media artist Rifdi Bin Rosly to reinterpret and bring to stage their poems from homesick and Ginsberg, sing me a jiwang song.

 

Come as you are.
