Malaysian performing arts talent took centre stage as the 19th Boh Cameronian Arts Awards (BCAA) unveiled a diverse range of winners at PJPAC's main theatre hall last night.

Among them were an experimental 1990s dance production restaged in a KL warehouse, a thought-provoking new play inspired by the Malay diaspora in the United States, a musical weaving local folklore with indie cool, and a horror musical set amidst the backdrop of the Malayan Emergency.
