Happy 2008!

Dear all,

2007 had been a wonderful year for Projek Wayang - we had our first invitation to an arts festival, further understanding of wayang through a theatre performance, and a rather interesting stint of performing in a mall, amongst others.

For 2008, we'll be consolidating this work. We hope to create a full performance by mid-year, hopefully at the Annexe at Central Market, Kuala Lumpur. It's a beautiful space with so many possibilities for performance!

So, here's to a bright year ahead!

Painting Puppets

After the first performance of Projek Wayang's Wayang Rakyat, entitled 'Sang Kancil dan Sang Buaya', several members of the audience stepped up and asked how we made the puppets. We used perspex instead of leather (it's a reflection of what environment we're in, one can posit) and painted them as you can see below.

This is Aziz painting the Pohon Konsumerism.

Pak Pandir!

Here's a very quick look at the soon-to-be-made Pak Pandir puppet, that will be making its first public appearance at The Curve this Saturday, 20 Oct, and Sunday, 21 Oct! It's not the final design yet, but it's nearly there (we're getting rid of the mustache, which isn't really working).
