About
Dulu. Saat Itu. — which translates to “Then. That Moment.” — is an exploration in memory.
This performance considers the moments in our lives that we revisit repeatedly, how those instances resonate in the present, and the way that memory reverberates throughout time. Recollection is both a beautiful and painful thing, but it's inevitable that we confront the past.
This show is special to us, the creators, because it has been one of our enduring experiences of 2020. We began devising it in February, and despite the pandemic, numerous lockdowns, and the show's consequent metamorphosis, we have stuck by it. We’ve worked hard to make it for you, the audience, and ourselves.
This show premiered on Cloud Theatre on 18-20 Dec 2020.

Jackey Chan
Lighting Designer
Jackey was born in 1988 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. He is a recurring nominee at the BOH Cameronian Arts Award for lighting design. To pursue his artistic dreams, he enrolled in New Era College’s Diploma in Performing Arts and was fortunate enough to meet his mentor, Caecar Chong. Under Caecar’s guidance and mentorship, he started developing an immense interest in theatre design. Unfortunately, Caecar passed away shortly after. However, Caecar’s guidance, particularly this principle, has impacted Jackey as an artist at a fundamental level: “You may be learning to design a space, but you’re not just designing with stone, brick, wood, and steel. You’re using the meaning within each layer of the space to create and construct the life within a human heart.” Since learning this, Jackey decided he wanted to be a set designer.
Amalia Ab Aziz
Scenic Designer
Still breathing, with lungs that rather be elsewhere.
She is one of those former architecture people who no longer want to do architecture, instead exploring graphic, installation and set design. Having met Biji-biji Initiatives, that dreamy illusion of upcycling is habituated; collecting things here and there to give them another purpose in the effort of tolerating the world better.
She also enjoys teaching and discussing deep ugly sad stuffs with her imprecise use of language. Terribly scared of people, but she adores them too. In love with stories a place can tell.
And thank you for joining/reading/watching. For seeing what she cannot see. For being a part of her she would carry till her lungs let go.

Seni Tiga
Seni Tiga (three arts in Bahasa Malaysia) is an on-going project created in 2019 as a platform for multidisciplinary collaborative performance. The three art forms are movement, visual and sound.
In 2021, instead of developing live performances, the platform will continue in the form of a laboratory - a collaboration that is more process-driven than product-oriented - to stimulate, nourish and elevate creative practice of participants through mutual artistic exchange with a mentor. We are curious about what is in the mind of artists at this time and hope to participate in the search for new ways to create, present and consume arts.
Past projects here.
Kongsi Petak
An entity from the KongsiKL community that strives to promote multidisciplinary performances and expressions, to break boundaries between art disciplines and to make art accessible to all.
KongsiKL
KongsiKL is a 10,000 sqft warehouse located at Old Klang Road, the first major road in Kuala Lumpur. It is entrusted by EXSIM Group to KakiKongsi to cultivate creative and cultural vitality. The warehouse that used to be a VOLVO service centre and stainless steel factory still retains its original structure and old statements on the textured wall.
While developing social and artistic experimentations, we embrace the spirit of ‘kongsi’ - sharing in Bahasa Malaysia and assembly or collaboration in Hokkien - and we believe in the ripple effects of sharing time, talent, space and resources.

REXKL
REXKL is situated on Jalan Sultan and was known to generations before as REX Cinema. The original building was opened on 28th July 1947, and it was repurposed as REXKL in July 2019.
REXKL aims to give the cinema and the surrounding community a new lease on life by repurposing the disused building as a space for events, theatre, exhibitions, performances, screenings, library facilities, workshops and F&B. The upgrades and reassignment of space within the building works hard, not just to be aesthetically pleasing, but also useful to the community. REXKL is focused on giving the old, beloved building another chance at a future rather than tearing it down and starting anew.
Address: Lot 80, Jalan Sultan, 50000 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
