Malaya

This international street theater group was established in 1991 and combines various disciplines of performing arts including dance, music, and circus, with stunning visual representations. Their spectacular performances have a narrative quality and are best described as magical and hypnotic.

This atmosphere is supported by the portrayal of almost mythical characters, somewhat recognizable by their archetypal appearance and oversized costumes. The style of play is interactive, surprising, and direct: the performers on stilts move among the audience, immersing them in the world of the performance.

The company has been invited by numerous renowned international festivals to perform as opening or final acts. All of their productions share one common feature: Visually strong street theater without the limitations 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 doesn’t exist while dreams certainly do. Arriving at this destination it is nothing more than awakening from a dream. What did we go through? Naturally, it is all fiction and the characters are unreal, yet our feelings are so true. Power and importance, being threatened or seduced, happiness and misfortune. These are the feelings they want to share with the audience.
