BUKA 2026 is a space for opening up. Through solo works in theatre and dance, it brings forward stories of identity, belonging, and emotional truth, and asks what it really means to be seen without defences. Joining us to talk about the production are producer Hoe Hui Ting, and performer Yon Lynn, who is the solo actor for the piece called “Kenapa Tak Tukar Nama?” - which explores love, faith, identity, and the pressures that come with navigating bureaucracy as a Muslim convert. We also hear more about the other two pieces, the dance performance Me Nari, and the theatre piece Denganmu Ibu (DEBU).
