Segala-galanya

Gonna be a this week is promising to be hectic. Late nights, insatiable hunger, fast food breakfast lunch and dinner, mood swings and basically stress.

On Saturday, after drama practice, I went for an Arts Enrichment Programme conducted by Ekamatra with Hajar and Zah. It was super cool, as zah might put it. We got to talk to the playwrights of the 2 plays we were scheduled to watch that night and man was it eye opening. Abg Najib was way seasoned. Elangovan was like bitting on a caradom seed as you eat your briyani. That man is burstfuls of flavourful shock, with his colourful background and valuable experience. He'd go all the way to do research and his plays are insightful encounters. Like Buang Suey and Mines.

After touring the Substation, 'the poor man's theatre', it was show time.
Kalbun was really really good. I really like how abg Najib takes what is very 'practiced', but not really concious of, in our community and use it in his play. Practices that we never really bothered to question. As an actor, he was more the bagos. Cant believe my eyes watered during the Nikita part. hell.

P was in tamil. We go a taste of our own medicine. We had to look up to the subtitles each time. Maybe the play was too profound for our comprehension. But i dont think it being in Tamil became a hindrance. There was a lot of crude puns. hohoh.
all and all it was a nice day. Thought provoking at the end.


On Sunday, Titisan had to do a shooting for Pentas. We went all over sg, starting from Kampung melayu. We ended up at Esplanade in the evening. Saw a signage about My Lush Plastic Love in a Garden of Numb. Free admission. So yeah. We all got to watch a performance together. Macam outing lah gitu loe.
The performance was really enjoyable. I especially liked the part when Fared came out in a 'gown'. It was very convincing. i dunno, i just liked that part alot. All and all it was enjoyable.

So there it was, my artsy farsty weekend.
