The University of Calgary School of Creative and Performing Arts presents Jebat

The University of Calgary School of Creative and Performing Arts presents Jebat, written by Malaysian playwright Hatta Azad Khan and translated by Nadia Khan, opening Oct. 24. The play is a tragicomedy that reimagines two Malaysian classics from the 15th and 16th century: Sejarah Melayu (the Malay Annals) and Hikayat Hang Tuah (Epic of Hang Tuah). Jebat challenges traditional ideologies and brings a new perspective to the current socio-political landscape of Malaysia. The play runs until Nov. 1 in the University Theatre with performances at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 24, 25 and Oct. 29–Nov. 1. A matinee performance runs Oct. 29 at 2:00 p.m.
