Matahari Jangan Tidure, Nanti Hilang Belang
Collateral Design; Scenography

Arief Hamizan, Theatresauce
2019A devised theatre performance, possibly set in Malaysia, that follows a family seeking normalcy in the aftermath of a cataclysmic event. In their newly distorted world, they struggle to piece together fragmented ideas of nation, religion, and morality that once defined their lives. This modern myth confronts the transient nature of existence in a world that refuses to remain still.
The scenic design visualised a minimal void—a fragmented world suspended in limbo—infused with moments of surrealism, longing, and beauty. MJTNHB marked one of Bryan’s earliest scenography works and his first outside of the collective.
The graphic design drew inspiration from the titular cataclysmic event and the fractured stories and characters it unleashed. The text-centric devising process informed the choice of Infini, a typeface inspired by epigraphy and created by Sandrine Nugue
as part of a public commission by the Centre national des arts
plastiques.
