Super Everything is a new collaborative performing arts project supported by the British Council that explores the relationship between identity, ritual and place.

These universal themes will be woven together using observational documentary footage, motion graphics, creative programming and original music production to create a poetic audio visual tapestry that together will form a rich, kaleidoscopic view of the cultural landscape of Malaysia.

Juxtaposing tradition and modernity this is a project that seeks to discover who we are and how these complex identities are connected to our environment through a multitude of different rituals. It is a journey through Malaysia’s past to understand its present and to reveal a shared social history that looks to its future.

Filmed on location across Peninsular Malaysia, Super Everything brings together a cutting-edge collection of Malaysia’s musical and visual artists under the auspices of the British Council Malaysia in collaboration with Britain’s leading audio-visual artists The Light Surgeons.

Through a process of cultural and artistic cross-collaboration, Super Everything will evolve into an exploded documentary performance, a type of live cinema pioneered by The Light Surgeons over the past 10 years.

The resulting performance will aim to elevate its audience to contemplate our shared human story; to reveal our collective commonality and to ask a timeless question about who we are as individuals and as a society.
