SINGAPORE - Local arts company Teater Ekamatra, which has had to cancel two productions because of the coronavirus pandemic, has launched its first fundraising challenge.
Mr Mohd Fared Jainal, Teater Ekamatra's artistic director, says it has been a difficult time for the company. Two of its productions, Berak, meant to run in March, and Punggah, expected to run in April, were cancelled in the light of the pandemic. "We have been doing this urgent work for over 30 years, and it remains urgent. We want to be able to continue for another 30 years, and beyond," he says.
