Gossip Is A Form of Resilience and Rebellion

It’s a special episode of A Bit of Culture as Kam Raslan is joined by two well-known figures in the Malaysian theatre scene - Marion D’Cruz and Na’a Murad. Kam uses this opportunity to immediately jump to the topic of theatre, its ephemeral nature and whether this is a downside, compared to other forms of arts. Na’a then talks about the incessant toxicity in pop culture these days and why that’s the case. They end the show by talking about gossip as a form of resilience and rebellion. Curious to know more? Tune in to hear them tackle these topics, maybe in a gossip-y kinda way! ;P

Produced by: Haniff Baharudin
