No Particular Order

Amid rising fear under new authoritarian rule, everyday choices become acts of endurance. Joel Tan’s No Particular Order asks what holds us together when order tightens. Malaysian premiere.

A dictator has risen to power.

Freedoms narrow, uncertainty grows, and everyday gestures, offline and online, face growing scrutiny.

And yet, across shifting timelines, seams begin to show: soldiers steer between conscience and protocol, parents weigh devotion against duty, teachers press questions against policy, and pest-control officers turn trees into battlefields. Below the radar of newsfeeds and algorithms, No Particular Order follows everyday lives under duress and makes visible the subtle, conflicting choices people make to endure another day.

When power tightens its grip from above, how might regular folk reorder from below? 

No Particular Order by Singaporean playwright Joel Tan (Wild Rice) has been staged in the UK (Theatre503, 2022), Singapore (Esplanade, 2023), and Australia (NIDA, 2025). This production in Kuala Lumpur is presented by Theatresauce, in collaboration with klpac, by arrangement with Nick Hern Books Ltd. Japan Foundation Kuala Lumpur and sans collective provide additional technical support.
