For those interested in understanding the Malaysian society structure, the influence of religious moral and the relationship among races, don't miss "Uncut, Untitled, Paper House". It will be performed for the next five days in the KL Performing Art Center.Those three new plays won't turn into an endless boring analysis that will put you asleep: written and directed by up-and-coming talents, this triple bill illustrates serious topics like censorship or parents authority with examples from Malaysian everyday's life.
I was really stunned to see Islam being criticized so openly, and happy not to see the religious police burst into the theater! I see it as a great step forward for Malaysia! Is it somehow related to the latest elections where the BN, coalition holding the power since independence 50 years ago, scored its worse score ever???
Here is the program.
UNCUT
Written & directed by Teng Ky-Gan
Featuring Fish & Aishah Sinclair
This play explores the theme of censorship in Malaysia and the influence of fanatical moral policing over works of art. As he struggles to reconcile his professional and moral obligations, with his basic human instincts, Zakaria the director of the Censorship Bureau finds himself spiraling out of control as he slowly learns that human wants often triumph over didactic logic.

Agreed Remi! Btw, whereas the message of the first two plays "Uncut" and "Untitled" was made clear i'd be interested to set the meaning straight about"Paper house" which was harder to grasp. I am missing Malaysian insight here. Anyone?
Question for ya: On some of your latter blogs you have a slideshow option that one can see numerous pictures of yours. How/where did you get it? I would very much like to use it. Thanks, and hope all is well.
Hey Dustin, sorry it took ages for me to answer. I just posted some info on your blog about it.
