Over three exciting days, Melaka Arts and Performance Festival will see artists from Malaysia, Australia and across Asia responding to the festival themes and sites in performance, visual arts, film and participatory projects.

From the 15th to the 21st Century, we find an ongoing quest for meaning. In the passing of cultures and waves of history, the passage of commerce and art. What is unique to our time, what is contemporary, and how do all these things go hand in hand, clasped in the fold of time?

Old ruins and heritage sites of Melaka are a part of our own lived history. They give us a sense of continuity with the old ways
while giving us pause to reflect on modern times. Through performance, artists respond to the focus on ‘Spaces in
Transition’.

This festival remains free and accessible for all. Continuing Melaka’s rich history as a centre for meetings and exchange between cultures, it will create opportunities for artists and art lovers to share in each others’ work and perspectives.
