Description

Three Penang local theatre companies. One immersive journey to uncover lesser-known history.

Neighborhood Performance Group, Nineties Production and Noise Performance House come together to collaborate in-depth for the very first time, creating a unique site-specific experience. Directed and co-produced by Ong Han Loon, Journal of Her House is a George Town Festival co-production taking place in Journal Georgetown.

Underneath Journal Georgetown’s visage lies a rich history. The space was once the house of a Majie, women who migrated from China to work as domestic servants. They fashioned their hair like married women through certain rituals, displaying their commitment to not marry.

A woman sits by her balcony window, staring into the distance and reminiscing about her experiences in Penang and her memories of being a family’s Majie.

This theatrical collaboration transforms Journal’s heritage building into an immersive historic storytelling experience. Audiences navigate through maze-like spaces, experiencing the challenges and dilemmas of Majie.

Latecomers Policies

Due to the nature of the performance, latecomers will not be admitted.
