Berahi: Holy Unions traces the spectrum between modesty and erotic charge — from fleeting flirtation to the intensity of berahi (sexual arousal in Malay).

Partners in life and art, Norhaizad Adam and Hasyimah Harith examine how cultural traditions script the performance of intimacy and desire. Through bodily ritual, poetic gesture, and movement research framed by a historical-sociological lens, the work draws inspiration from Perhimpunan Gunawan bagi Laki-Laki dan Perempuan (1911), a Malay compendium of charms for men and women by Khadijah Terung.
