Anak Bulan Di Kampong Wa' Hassan tells the story of Kampong Wa' Hassan, the last Malay kampung to fall victim to Singapore's efforts at modernisation. Not quite a nostalgic trip down memory lane to a romanticised Malay kampung, this is a journey of discovery of the true worth of a kampung, filled with real-life characters in all their rawness, and their true loss in the dispossession of it.
Anak Bulan explores the kampung as the crucible of 'Malay Romanticism', investigating how Malay Singaporeans have developed a narrative of dispossessions, regret and nostalgia. The play is both an ode and a lament to one of the last kampung in Singapore, poised between an old-world grace and certain extinction.
