摘要：This research is conducted to explore the designs and contents of Projek Bilik Sempit as the identity of Indie theatre in Malaysia. Projek Bilik Sempit is an alternative to run Indie theatretical productions. Indie theatres have been getting a generous amount of attention from theatre activists today involving all age layers. In fact, theatre activists are getting more active producing Indie in groups, collectively or individually without being bound under any orderly organisations. The after effect of the performances produced by Projek Bilik Sempit has successfully shaped an identity of Indie theatres of its own in the aspects of its design and content in all of its productions. Therefore, researchers had chosen three main objectives, which the first one is to analyse the performance design in Juta-juta theatre, Asrama Ra All Star, and Aku Nak Jadi Bintang. Second, to analyse the content in the performances of Juta-juta theatre and Asrama Ra All Star theatre compilation. Third, to justify the designs and contents of Projek Bilik Sempit as the identity of Indie theatres in Malaysia. In Malaysia, theatre activists who have been actively involved in performing Indie theatres are Fasyali Fadzli, Khairunazwan Rodzy, Namron, and others. Hence, researchers had selected three samples to be the main references to conduct this research which are Juta-Juta theatre by Fasyali Fadzli, and Asrama Ra All Star directed by Khairunazwan Rodzy. The researchers carry out this research using qualitative method, through observation and interview methods by interviewing three informants who are also Malaysia’s prolific Indie performing theatre activists. The result of this study found out the identity of Indie theatres consist of small-scale performances, small budget, small management, only 2/3 actors and actresses involved, easily understood plot with the themes of humanity and current issues, simple organisation, and the format of the story performed is short-length. With that, Indie theatre performances have given new perspectives in shaping Indie theatres themselves.
