Kumar Muniandy Skuespiller
I was born in Malaysia as a second-generation Tamil Malaysian. My parents are first-generation Tamil Malaysians, and my grandparents, originally from Tamil Nadu, South India, were brought to Malaysia as coolies by the British for colonial labour in the 1930s. I speak fluent street Tamil, Malay, basic conversational Cantonese, and intermediate German (B1 level). In 2003, I moved to London to pursue acting, and in 2019, I expanded my career to Berlin, which is now my primary home.

I’m Coming For You Anyway is a solo-performance that examines the legacy of male violence alongside the quiet, exhausting reality of caring for ageing parents in queer diasporic families. Written while I was caring for my own parents in Malaysia, the piece grew out of lived urgency rather than theory. It was first shared in Berlin at the Monologfestival with TD Theatre Berlin, where the overlap between these themes became impossible to ignore.
