Theatresauce is a director and creation driven collective founded in 2016 by Kelvin Wong. We've undergone various artistic trajectories, from back-to-back productions of well-made plays to entire seasons dedicated to devised and experimental work. The company embraces various theatre-making forms, while remaining committed to the creation of edgy and innovative productions that draw from our experiences as urban Malaysians. 

 

Theatresauce advocates diverse thought, dramaturgies, and practices. We invite our collaborators and audiences to look beyond grand narratives, the prescriptive, and binaries of right/wrong. We're less interested in what contemporary theatre should be and more in what it could do or be. We believe theatre is culture making. We espouse opportunities, possibilities, and new ways of seeing + collaborating. 

 

Today, led by new Artistic Director Dhinesha Karthigesu, the company is focused on championing new and original (minority) Malaysian stories in theatre and on stage. Theatresauce aims to centre and hold space for narratives, identities and bodies that are underrepresented in the media landspace. Stories that are intersectional and go beyond the typical binaries of race, gender, sexualities and backgrounds.

In 2026, Theatresauce celebrates its 10th year anniversary. Please consider donating to keep the company going till we hit this milestone and more. Also check out our press archive and an expanding directory of theatre companies in Malaysia.
