Rumah Dari Lidah brings together artists from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore in a shared exploration of Peranakan Chinese experiences through memory, language, food, family stories, history, and the things we remember or leave untold.
Directed and composed by Melati Suryodarmo, with dramaturgical support from Ugoran Prasad, the performance brings these different voices into one shared space.
A place where stories meet, memories cross paths, and different voices come together to ask: what does it mean to call somewhere home?
