About the Performers
Ombak Potehi is a collective of multiethnic young people who have tried to revitalise the endangered Potehi glove puppet theatre in Penang, Malaysia. The group of young people studied the art of puppet manipulation, narration and music from the traditional troupe, Beng Geok Hong Puppet Show, in Penang. The group has made Potehi accessible to people of races, genders, ages and income levels and to promote the sharing of cultures among the diverse people of Malaysia.
The performances are co-presented by the National Library Board and HeritageSG. NLB hopes to inspire the discovery of hidden stories and facets of Singapore’s past from the collections of the National Library and the National Archives of Singapore.
