Fermented Roti Canai Update 02

...and the epic continues where the director chose an auspicious evening to convene a soiree, feeding on retinal ambrosia...

The updates: Fermented Roti Canai project will be held on September, we try not to delay since the ideas are all out. While idea generating month (June) ended, we step into July and August where we start rehearsing and producing.

Rather quirky, the range of theme we will be tackling is wide and arbitrary, for instance, Tan Zi Hao will produce 3 totally different performances - one about the philosophy of mind, another one which is quite conceptual...and flattering, and also a socio-political commentary cum musical. He will too exhibit some visual works (drawing) related to his performances. Ng Chin Ang will direct a short film based on family values, also at hindsight commenting on the current political situation, somehow insidious.

Here's the confirmed list of artists (a loose term herein, of visuals, film, performance, music etc) involved:
Lau Mengq Yek
Ng Chin Ang
Simone Chong Sze Mun
Suman Moganasingam
Tan Zi Hao

*The confirmed list of works will be shown on the next post.

We were also discussing about Mark Teh's workshop and see when will be the best time for all, and have analyzed our past performances to see our lacks, thereby propose to Mark our idea. After that, as usual, a film screening session! This time we have Amir Muhammad's Apa Khabar Orang Kampung. It was beautifully composed.

Film still from 'Apa Khabar Orang Kampung' directed by Amir Muhammad.
