We'll be bringing to you a traditional Mak Yong performance inspired by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Those familiar with the text will see glimpses of certain characters from the classic but the staging itself stays true to the style of Mak Yong which features a lovely fusion of music, dance, drama, romance & comedy. Visually, it will be a real treat full of rich costumes and intricate accessories, courtesy of master craftsmen Hj. Tharuwat.
This light-hearted comedy follows three couples in pursuit of love & their lifelong partner. Each is faced with different predicaments and this is when the magical Bunga Sakti comes into play. Allow yourself to be transported to a different world where fairytales and magical powers exist alongside human emotions.
The established cast, starring Rosdeen Suboh, Asrulfaizal, Zamzuriah Zahari & Tisha Zarina Zainal, will be backed by a music ensemble led by Kamrulbahri Hussin and an equally impressive production team.
Don't miss this rare opportunity to experience an age-old art form that was once largely performed as court entertainment in palaces...
