PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT
MAK YONG: ITS ORIGINS AND HISTORY
A BILINGUAL SEMINAR
For various reasons mak yong is, without doubt, the most important and also the most controversial of traditional Malaysian theatre forms. On the one hand it has been banned in Kelantan for several years and on the other it has been recognized by UNESCO as an item of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, thus creating a dilemma in efforts to preserve and promote it. In areas of Indonesia and Thailand, where it is also active, such controversies do not arise.
While looking very briefly at some of the other aspects of mak yong as a means of understanding its development, nature and functions, this seminar will focus squarely on the theme of its origins and history, touching upon various theories related to this topic, with the expectation that some of the principal views will be highlighted and discussed.
The seminar will be of interest to researchers, performers, enthusiasts, observers as well as students of traditional performing arts.
Papers may be presented in English or Bahasa Melayu/Indonesia.
Date: Saturday July 25 2009.
Time: 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p. m.
Venue: Kuala Lumpur or Petaling Jaya (to be determined)
