After a mellow two years, SHORT+SWEET Malaysia returns with a bang in time to celebrate its 15th anniversary with a 2-week festival starting from 1st until 16th October 2022 at Pentas 2, klpac.
Running since 2008, SHORT+SWEET Malaysia has premiered more than 1,000 new works and showcased an astonishing 5,351 emerging and established talents on the Malaysian stage.
Winning over audiences in under 10 minutes, the time limit set on all works presented by SHORT+SWEET is no small feat. And yet, time and again, participants have surprised us, made us laugh and had us cheering with notable 10-minute works like CS The Musical, Menstruating, Overheard at a Café in Taman Tun, Ada Orang Sibuk Sangat and more.
Some return year after year to try their hand at different genres and many newbies go on to perform on bigger stages – that is the magic and allure of SHORT+SWEET.
Hosted nightly by Festival Director Dato’ Dr Faridah Merican and Artistic Director Joe Hasham OAM, the upcoming 15th anniversary season will feature an array of 60 plus bite-sized theatrical treats in six genres.
- SHORT+SWEET Film (1st & 2nd October)
- SHORT+SWEET Stand-Up Comedy & Song (5th & 6th October)
- SHORT+SWEET Musical (8th & 9th October)
- SHORT+SWEET Dance (12th & 13th October)
- SHORT+SWEET Theatre (15th & 16th October).
Feast on a sumptuous buffet of 10-minute works while each team competes to walk away with top honours and prizes, including the coveted Mercedes-Benz Award for Creative Excellence.
Audiences can join in the fun by voting for their favourite to determine the Audience Choice Award winner.
If you are looking for a fun night out with friends, look no further. Sit back, laugh out loud, the debate over your favourites and enjoy the wide variety of works SHORT+SWEET has to offer.
It is undoubtedly a welcome respite from our busy schedules and the daily grind.
Conceptualised by Mark Cleary, SHORT+SWEET began as a small festival of 10-minute plays in Sydney, Australia, in 2002. It then spread its wings to other cities around Australia and, soon after, other countries around the globe.
Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, The Actors Studio, and the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC) sponsor the festival.
Tickets for SHORT+SWEET Film are priced at RM24 and RM38 for the remaining genres.
