Reflections on Performance

With Malaysia currently under the Recovery Movement Control Order, the performing arts scene is slowly beginning to stage shows again. And they are trying various ways to make this work while still complying with the SOPs provided by the government. For percussion ensemble Hands Percussion Malaysia, this involves presenting their first live-streamed show, called Reflections, in collaboration with the Damansara Performing Arts Centre (DPAC). We speak with Hands’ and DPAC’s artistic director about getting back to performing, what it is like to do live shows without a live audience, and possible future directions.
