Delve into the rich tapestry of our cultural heritage and embark on an unforgettable adventure that will ignite imaginations and foster a love for our vibrant folklore.

Where The Journey Begins

Dondang Dongeng has its origins beginning with a simple question, and that is “do Malaysians, especially kids, still know of our local folklores?” The answer? While many of us grew up listening to the tales and songs of Disney, dreaming to be part of that world, did we still remember to find our way home and remember our own stories. In other words, yes.

Dondang Dongeng is a quest in sharing the stories of treasured Malaysian folklore like the smart and mischievous Sang Kancil and legends of beautiful local princesses complete with important morals to take away, as we pass down these narratives, but in our own way. In songs and tunes, in celebration of our traditions as well as of who we are, our past, our present and our future.

Folklore In Good Hands

Helmed by a team of esteemed creatives such as Irena Taib, composer and member of The Impatient Sisters, namely Mia Palencia, renowned singer and songwriter, Melina William, musician and producer and other local talents that are highly sought-after in the music scene, Dondang Dongeng is craftily weaved into a dreamscape, filled with stories less remembered but hopefully not long forgotten.

Stories as old as time, (haha, you thought we would say”tale as old as time, didn’t you? Nope, we go local this time) presented in the form of songs with a modern twist await you at this magical experience which not only serves up nostalgia, but also just enough “new” oomph to keep you wanting more.

Experience Dondang Dongeng at the PJPAC, 1 Utama from 25th to 26th August. For ticket details, visit  the Official Onetix Website.
