This research is aimed at studying the visual tranformation and the manifestation of Khalid Salleh in the script of “Kena Main”, performed at Istana Budaya. The manifestation of physical thought is a vital process in producing a play with meaning and artistic values. The process of visual tranformation represents an active sensation of knowledge through an analytical process in abstract, realistic, and experimental forms according to the concepts and script themes translated on the stage. Therefore, this study is to show the role of both visual tranformation and the manifestation of the script together in forming the performance, with the application of visual images and artistic elements based on the play “Kena Main”. Visual tranformation in the play “Kena Main” has esthetic values which contains sociological influences in the community’s culture and portrayal of the lives of the blind, the homeless, and drug addicts. The images of the three groups of people are a symbolic representation of the community, related to brotherhood and togetherness between one another. The results of this study will shed light on the significance of Khalid Salleh’s manifestation used in the play “Kena Main” in increasing the understanding of the importance of visual tranformation as a source of inspiration for artistic designers in the context of art aesthetics in theatrical performances by basing them on the community’s sociological symbols.
