Truth shines best through the shadows for the Plasticity Theatre Troupe. This Penang-based group, which turns five in December, continues to step up to tackle the big issues using its unique style of contemporary shadow play.

From its groundbreaking performances centred on the dire state of the environment in Plastic City and The Present, Plasticity is taking up a fresh challenge and a new issue in its latest project entitled Di Luar Bayangan.
