Refugee theatre hasn't dropped off the map in Malaysia.

Afghanistan-born director Saleh Sepas saw how the various lockdowns made it impossible for the KL-based refugee arts group Parastoo Theatre to stage shows in the last two years, but that has not broken the resilient spirit of these arts-loving individuals, who changed the direction of their work to include outreach and online initiatives.
