Malaysian digital platform for the arts targets international festival market


A screen shot of the arts performance 'Vortice Voyeur From Water Station' by OtaShogo, which was one of the four ticketed digital shows, hosted by CloudTheatre, at Hong Kong's Along The Edge Arts Festival.

Start small and dream big is a top pandemic-friendly business idea. It seemed to have worked out for theatre duo William Yap, a theatre director/actor and Dennis Lee, a theatre actor, who formed art streaming platform CloudTheatre last May.

At a time when performance venues were closed down due to the movement control order, CloudTheatre filled up gaps in the Malaysian theatre industry and supported stranded theatre makers affected by the pandemic in putting ticketed shows online.
