What happens when timeless literature meets cutting-edge multimedia? Apresiasi A. Samad Said 2025 is set to answer that question with a one-of-a-kind event in Cyberjaya that brings the words of Malaysia’s beloved literary giant to life through digital art, immersive theatre, and interactive storytelling. Organised by Pertubuhan Seni Nusantara in collaboration with MMU, Crisscut Design, and Manggis Group, we're all invited to experience Pak Samad’s legacy like never before, and we hear more from the production’s producer and creative director Mariana Samsudin, and advisor Nazura Rahime.
