Dua, Tiga Dalang Berlari, Kuala Lumpur / 28 May - 3 June 2007

I'm pleased to announce that Dua, Tiga Dalang Berlari won an award for Best Group Performance (Theatre) at the 6th BOH Annual Cameronian Arts Awards on Sunday night.

Congratulations to Mark and the performers - Fahmi, Chung Wei & Tay Sy. Also to Fahmi Reza for the beautiful projections on the wall & Aziz for his 'crowd dispersing' music. Marion, Norman, Hari and Adrian deserves a big thank you for helping us out with this.

(Must also thank sponsors and venues. A mental note for when I'm back in KL!)

And thank you, Fahmi :)

For Pak Hamzah Awang Mat & Pak Dollah Baju Merah.

****************
Dua, Tiga Dalang Berlari is a docu-performance that investigates the position of the wayang kulit dalang (master puppeteer) in the shifting contexts of Malaysian history.

The performance presents different versions of the Betara Kala story, where a bloodthirsty, child-eating giant is confronted by a dalang. The performance also explores the lives of renowned dalangs and fierce rivals Dollah Baju Merah (1938 - 2005)and Hamzah Awang Mat (1940 - 2001), through texts culled from interviews and newspaper reports.

Dua, Tiga Dalang Berlari ran from 28 May to 3 June 2007 in at The Annexe, Central market and colleges/universities in the Klang Valley.
