When it comes to original contemporary Malay-language theatre plays, it doesn’t get better than playwright and director Ridhwan Saidi’s Teater Normcore series under the production of Moka Mocha Ink (Moka), which he co-founded with author Nurul Aizam in 201l.

Teater Normcore, which premiered in 2018, features full length plays written and directed by Ridhwan. The mission, arguably, has been to introduce works with a deeper sense theatrical poetry and turning attention to deadpan humour.
