Held during World Sleeping Day weekend, Tidur Lambak is an immersive performance, highlighting the nostalgic communal sleeping arrangements associated with the Malaysian practice of "balik kampung" or homecoming.

​

Consisting of 12 non-actors of varying backgrounds, who enter the room and slowly sleep on their single mattresses next to each other. They form ‘a large nest’. With speakers playing the soundscape of rural Malaysia, guests will be transported into this Kampung room along with the performers. Thus creating an intimate space to rekindle memories and experience new feelings.
