Malaysian celebrities read folk tales in Hikayat Storytelling online series


In 2016, the theme for the annual Boh Cameronian Arts Awards was "Yesterday For Tomorrow". Three traditional performing art forms – mak yong, wayang kulit and teater bangsawan – were highlighted. During the awards ceremony, arts outfit Kakiseni pledged to help promote these art forms to a new generation.

Four years on, Kakiseni is continuing to work with storytellers and artistes to create Hikayat By Kakiseni, a series of storybooks highlighting such traditional art forms.
