You might have seen our posters at the different Community Centers. You might have seen our flyers at the different SISTIC counters. What you might not know is that we have a lot more talented people involved in the upcoming pantomime, #BPBM.
Let me first introduce to you, my very talented friend who happens to also be a Vlogger and a YouTube sensation, Fidyana Official . She will be making cameos throughout the 4 shows!
Next, we also got our friends from Attrians Singapore to be part of this production too!
Some of you who came to watch Tanggang: The Unfilial Son last year, you would have remembered the characters– Adi, Faizal and Khai. You might also have remembered how they explored different themes and started asking different questions in their search for a more contemporary way to understand the folktale.
This year, the journey embarked by three friends continues with the addition of one new member. #BPBM will see the four contemporising an adaptation of Bawang Puteh Bawang Merah (which is the Malay version of Cinderella). They get transported into a warped world by a higher being and briefly assume the characters in this tale and live through the characters’ lives.
This story will take you through the trials and tribulations that Bawang Puteh experiences after the death of her parents. She faces difficulties living together with her step-mother, Kundur and step-sister, Bawang Merah. She is subjected to domestic abuse but never fails to be tolerant and resilient. One day, a charming gentleman (Putera) chances upon her and a #ItsComplicated love story ensues.
#BPBM presents the classic theme of good triumphs over evil as well as the message of hope, courage and standing up for what is right.
And best of all, this pantomime is suitable for all ages, as approved by the Media Development Authority, aka MDA!
