Pusaka’s Main Puteri was the only art form from South-East Asia featured at the 26th edition of Festival de l’Imaginaire, organised by Maison des Cultures du Monde. Main Puteri is a healing performance tradition found mainly in the north-eastern Malaysian state of Kelantan. It incorporates elements of dance, music, oral poetry, and ritual to heal patients suffering from emotional or spiritual illness.
A Main Puteri performance is accompanied by an ensemble of musicians on rebab, serunai, gong, gendang, geduk, gedumbak, canang and kesi. The Tok Puteris were accompanied by an ensemble of young Kelantanese musicians, many of whom honed their art under tutelage of master musician Md Gel Mat Dali, also known as Poksu Agel.
