Fairuz Sulaiman, a multimedia artist, is no stranger to incorporating traditional wayang storytelling with an experimental edge, often using digital art, videos, music and projection.
Alongside his genre-blurring Main Wayang collective, Fairuz turned an entire warehouse (KongsiKL) in Kuala Lumpur into a wayang wonderland with the Layang show in February 2018. Experimental musician Sudarshan Chandra Kumar and actor-director Ayam Fared were also part of this ambitious multimedia arts project.
In these pandemic times, Fairuz planning to roll out any public shows. Instead, the softly spoken artist is going back to basics as he teams up with arts outfit Kakiseni for the SenikidZ Online workshop series, which intends to focus on the storytelling aspects of wayang theatre.
