Orang Orang Drum Theatre

人人人鼓剧场所有团员都是自二十四节令鼓（马来西亚非物质文化遗产）体系训练出身。这民俗表演的基础功，该如何与当代表演艺术创作连接呢？大马是个多元文化社会交汇的国度，各民族的传统文化表演如何刺激团员们对音乐与剧场的想象？
在这些多元性里，‘鼓剧场’以城市作为背景，寻找音乐与人物之间微妙的关系：偶尔为角色谱曲，偶尔为谱好的曲子寻找角色。这是目前人人人专注在作品里探索的方向。

We ask questions such as: All of OODT’s members have had training from the 24 Festive Drums (Malaysia’s cultural heritage), how then can the basic training from this folk performance connect to the creative work in contemporary performing arts? Malaysia is the convergence point of a multicultural society, how do the traditional cultural performances of the different ethnic groups stimulate the imagination of the members in terms of music and theatre?
In the midst of all these different elements, drum theatre finds its relation between music and man, set in the background of the city. Sometimes composing music for the characters, sometimes finding characters for the composed music. This is the direction that OODT is searching for in its creative pieces.
