Muka Buku (Facebook)
a programme of Causeway EXchange

Whether you like it or not, online social networking sites are here to stay, transforming the way we connect with one another.

Malaysia’s first lady of theatre, Dato’ Faridah Merican, together with three writers, Mark Beau de Silva, Alex Chua and Nandang Abdul Rahman, take on the easily overlooked impact that such sites have on our everyday lives.

Mukabuku presents six short stories – Top Friends; Profile Picture; Could Have Been; Funeral Rights; Addiction; and Remains – that chronicle the ups and downs of the world’s most popular social networking website.

About CausewayEXchange: Over 3,000 faces. Laughter. Tears. Anxiety. Hope.

Five days of Malaysia’s quirkiest, most original and inspirational artists all in one House, sharing a facet of Malaysia that is rarely seen! The inaugural CausewayEXchange festival aims to build a bridge between Singapore and Malaysia through the platform of arts and culture.

Magique (Magic)
In French with English subtitles

10-year-old Tommy lives with his mother Betty on an isolated farm deep in the Canadian countryside. Tommy has never known his father, and Betty, who lives on the farm like a woman on the run, vainly searches on-line for a companion.

A travelling circus arrives at the nearby town, but is refused permission to put up the big top. It looks like they’ll be forced to move on. Then Tommy has a brainwave.

What better than a circus to create an atmosphere of joy?  But there’s more trouble ahead. The truck carrying the big top doesn’t turn up. No big top, no circus!

Time: 8.00 pm
