Backstage Bites @ klpac
Notice to viewers
I decline the title of Iron Cook and accept the lesser title of Zinc Saucier, which I just made up. Uhh… also, comes with double prize money. Leela's gonna kill me. Switzerland is small and neutral! We are more like Germany, ambitious and misunderstood!
Leela, Bender, we're going grave robbing. Calculon is gonna kill us and it's all everybody else's fault! And I'd do it again! And perhaps a third time! But that would be it. Leela, are you alright? You got wanged on the head.
Let us take you on a private tour of Malaysia’s only fully-integrated arts centre. Discover its fascinating 120-year-old heritage and marvel at its award-winning design. Enjoy a bird’s eye view of the theatre from the catwalk where the technical team creates magic and step on the very stage used by world class performers.
You’ll get to meet our lovely klpac team and dive into our Drum Circle workshop by The Colours of the Sound.
You’ll be served a sumptuous local brunch, pre-packed for hygiene reasons, to enjoy anywhere on the grounds of klpac or to be brought home.
Places limited to 20 pax only.
Backstage Bites (formerly Brunch on the Balcony) offers the public a rare sneak peek of how an arts centre works and access to areas usually off-limits to the public.
