Season 2 of "The Hearth Brought to Light + Food Over Fire (FOF) festival perpetuates Sarawak’s tribal traditions through performing arts edutainment around a full-sized live hearth. It is followed by a sit-down feast featuring the traditional practice of cooking “Food over Fire” with 20 master jungle grillers cooking 50 dishes.
It is around a live tetal (hearth) that families congregate to sing, dance, cook and share stories in their daily lives, especially during traditional festivals, feasts, rituals, births and deaths. The hearth represents more than just a kitchen, it keeps alive traditions and the meaning behind them.
