If yes, you can drop at the former Majestic Hotel at Jalan Sultan Hishamuddin everyday from 8pm to 10pm. The theatre performance is directed by Tristan Sharps who has put up this performance in Brighton & London (England), Ljubljana (Slovenia) and Moscow (Russia). Next venue will be Australia and Romania. The production is called "Don't Look Back" and will end by 11 Feb 2007. Awwwwww.... I'm going to miss it as I'll be back at KL only on 14 Feb.
You'll be guided into the building where a group of 3 persons will enter with half hour interval before the next 3 enters. You'll meet a character who'll interact with you. This character is played by local theatre actor Thor Kah Hoong. The production is loosely based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
The 3 persons will have to go through the production on their own, going into different rooms & corridors to see the happenings. Various sounds, images, slideshows and also live actors will try to picture the story to you. So keep your eyes opened throughout the journey.The director of the production stated that "the audience will feel that they’re watching something happening and then suddenly realise that they themselves are a part of the story and art is “happening” around them." Moving forward is the right cue when you are in the building as timing is of the essence here. As with the story of the Greek myth, it was told not to look back. Wonder what is at the back of you since they told you not to look back.....hehehe.
Interesting? New way of telling a story to you with you being part of it. Interaction in this production is very important. This production is presented by British Council in cooperation with Akademi Seni Budaya dan Warisan Kebangsaan (Aswara) and the Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry. (source: The Star)
