Bukit Merah
Oh Bukit Merah
Reddest hill top
Red as the sun...

The Legend of Bukit Merah: Hang Nadim and the Garfish explores the origins behind Bukit Merah and how it came to be.

Featuring an indoor obstacle course with six different stations as story chapters, audiences will observe how some demonstrators overcome each obstacle together with the actors, as they are guided through the story of Hang Nadim.

Written by Euginia Tan, performed by Adib Kosnan and Liew Jia Yi. The presentation includes a feedback session with the artists.
