Full details: Tari-Teatrikal: Lagenda Puteri Santubong event guide
Lagenda Puteri Santubong, a dance-theatre production of the Sarawak legend of Puteri Santubong, runs at Istana Budaya on Saturday 19 and Sunday 20 December 2026 at 8:30pm.
What to expect
Presented by Lang Budaya, the piece uses the tari-teatrikal format, blending dance and theatre, and is staged in Panggung Sari. It retells a folk story from Sarawak rather than a modern script.
Tickets and how to attend
Tickets are sold through CloudJoi at RM78 to RM399. Buy only from the official seller, since resale and unofficial tickets may be refused at the gate.
Getting there
Istana Budaya is about 10 minutes from central Kuala Lumpur by Grab. Theatre dress codes apply, so check the organiser’s rules before you go.
Where to stay
Cormar Suites Kuala Lumpur makes a central base for Tari-Teatrikal: Lagenda Puteri Santubong. The newly renovated 4-star hotel is about 15 minutes’ walk from the Petronas Twin Towers, with Bukit Bintang’s food streets close by. Its studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites are larger than a standard hotel room, with comfortable beds, a full kitchenette and a bathtub, and there is a rooftop pool and Parry Road Cafe downstairs for breakfast before the event.
How to get there from the city centre, what is nearby and the full event details are on the Tari-Teatrikal: Lagenda Puteri Santubong guide. Event dates fill hotels fast: book direct with Cormar Suites for the best available rate, and confirm times and entry rules with the organiser before you go.
