To be frank, I never know where DPAC is and never watch this kind of performing arts until 14th of June. FYI, performing arts are art forms in which artists use their body, voice, or objects to convey artistic expression-as opposed to, for example, purely visual arts, in which artists use paint/canvas or various materials to create physical or static art objects. Performing arts include a variety of disciplines but all are intended to be performed in front of a live audience.
Another Country, directed by Jo Kukathas from Malaysia and Ivan Heng from Singapore. This play really amazed me, it is AWESOME! As I am new to performing arts, thus I don't really know what to expect from Another Country. I found this interesting, which cast from Malaysia (Ghafir Akbar, Sharifah Amani, Anne James, Alfred Loh, and Iedil Putra) performed Singapore's stories (Sayang Singaura) while cast from Singapore (Sharda Harrison, Gani Karim, Janice Koh, Lim Yu-Beng, and Siti Khalijah Zainal) performed Malaysia's stories (Tikam-tikam: Malaysia@Random 2). I think the reason behind this is to inspire us to dig deeper about the history of our closest neighbour and understand it.
I personally like Daulat: Long Live and Moonrat: Tikus Bulan, the Malaysia's stories; Mama Looking for Her Cat, and 2 mothers in a hdb playground, the Singapore's stories as they were truly impressive, and also FUNNY. hahahahahah......
After watching such a professional performance, I somehow fell for it. Another Country has worked up my enthusiasm towards our shared history, arts, and culture with Singapore. Arts and culture are not meant to be forgotten. Every single one of us has to love and respect it.
AND.... most important of all ~~~~ HAINANESE CHICKEN RICE - CHICKEN THAT TASTES LIKE CHICKEN *drooling*
That's all, peace out!
