Malaya
This international street theatre group was established in 1991 and combine various disciplines of performing arts including dance, music and circus, with stunning visual representations. Their spectacular performances have a narrative character and are best described as magical and hypnotic.
This atmosphere is supported by the representation of almost mythical characters, somewhat recognisable by their archetypal appearance and enlarged costumes. The style of play is interactive, surprising and straight: the performers on stilts move among the audience that is immersed in the world of the performance.
The company has been invited by numerous renowned international festivals to perform as opening or final act. All of their productions have one thing in common; Visually strong street theatre without the limitation of age, language or even cultural boundaries.
Malaya:
The spectacle is like a journey. It is a journey with mobile objects through dreams and nightmares.
The destination does not exist while dreams certainly do. Arriving at this destination it is nothing more than awakening from a dream. What did we go through? Naturally, that it is all fiction and that the characters are unreal and nevertheless our feelings are so true. Power and importance, being threatened or being seduced, happiness and misfortune. These are the feelings they want to share with the public.
