Featured Traditional Art Forms in the Six-Week Heritage Showcase

The six-weekend cultural series, Senjakala: Seni Kita by Pusaka, will showcase a diverse range of Malaysia's living heritage, featuring six distinct traditional performance forms. These presentations aim to bring traditional performances to urban audiences and strengthen appreciation for the country's cultural practices. The series runs from June 19 to July 25 at TRX City Park and TRX MRT Plaza.
Gamelan and Joget Gamelan

The showcase will open with performances of Gamelan and Joget Gamelan by Astrawayu on June 19 and 20. Gamelan is a Malay court tradition historically associated with Pahang and Terengganu, performed during royal occasions. Joget Gamelan is a dance tradition that once encompassed 60 dances, with only 10 known to survive today.
Indigenous Dances of Borneo and Seni Reog

Subsequent weekends will feature Indigenous Dances of Borneo on June 27 and 28. This will be followed by Johor’s Seni Reog tradition on July 3 and 4, highlighting another regional cultural expression.
Mah Meri Masked Dance and Chinese Music Ensemble

The series will continue with the Mah Meri masked dance, known as Mayin Jo’oh, on July 10 and 11. A traditional Chinese music ensemble will also be presented on July 17 and 18, representing the country's multicultural fabric through its musical heritage.
Wayang Kulit Kelantan

Concluding the six-week showcase, Kelantan’s Wayang Kulit will be performed on July 24 and 25. This traditional shadow puppet theatre is a significant element of Malay cultural heritage, particularly from the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
