‘Tidur Lambak’ is an immersive rest-based experience that reimagines the nostalgic communal sleeping arrangement of the Malaysian “balik kampung” tradition. Set inside a former sawmill in Ipoh and lined with tikars and toto, the space becomes a temporary “kampung” room - a place to wander, settle, lie down, and rest.

Guided by sound artist Kamal Sabran, participants enter a carefully composed sonic environment where intimate dream confessions blend with meditative and healing frequencies. The work unfolds in two acts: (1) communal unwinding and (2) individual slumber. Together, these phases dissolve the boundary between stranger and kin, forming a rare moment of collective stillness.

"Growing up in a house where's there 15 people and 3 rooms, the idea of Tidur Lambak was a daily experience for me until I moved out from my family house. Being part of this experience reminds me that while nostalgia can be a wonderful thing, it also brings out a sense of grief for a time where rest is needed, alongside people that you love and care about.  I get to process my emotions a bit more [during the show]. Such an interesting feeling." - Erin Malikhain
