Selva Karina Bahrin Jac SM Kee Hosted by Jerome Kugan & Jasmine Low ABOUT WAYANG KATA Wayang Kata began in Kuala Lumpur in 2006 as collaboration between the British Council, Jasmine Low and Jerome Kugan, of open mic events Doppelganger and Troubadours, as an attempt to popularise the spoken word. Three years of performances to a packed house saw a host of UK poets grace the Wayang Kata stage in Kuala Lumpur - Francesca Beard, Jacob Sam-La Rose, Malika Booker, Kim Trusty and Polarbear - alongside a constellation of rising Malaysian poetry stars. Wayang Kata is now independently funded and will host its second installation in Penang, featuring a multi-lingual lineup of poets and spoken word performers. COST RM5 min donation VENUE
