"At first when I entered the mini-theater I got goose bumps. The atmosphere inside is like of that from another world."
The play tells a story about a kingdom which is about to be attacked and was cornered but gains victory because of a man named Udin. He join forces with the queen of Adin which is a lady named Mayi who's husband is killed and was a widowed woman, and they ended up victorious. He then married Mayi and become the King of Adin. Now the real story is about to start.
After four years the kingdom Adin was again on the verge of being attacked by the enemy kingdom whose ruler is Sampulna. Sampulna accuses the Queen Mayi of being the murderer of the late King Layos. Queen Mayi, of course denies it and instead accuses Udoy for treason, for once he was a confidante of Sampulna.
There is only one way to stop Sampulna's impending rout of Adin: and that is the son of king Layos and Mayi to sit at the throne of Adin, but they believed it died 29 years ago .The child's birth is breech. There is only one person who knows if it's still alive and that is the Komadrona who helps Mayi gave birth.
The Komadrona claims that she knows nothing but was forced to utter words that the council don't comprehend. Udin at first have already suspect the words of the Komadrona and was afraid to know. The Saksi confirmed his suspicion on who is the son. Mayi who knows that the truth is about to be leaked committed suicide. While the council found out that Mayi had an affair with Sampulna and was blessed with a child, and that is Udin.
The last part of the play portrays the soon confrontation of Udin and Sampulna, his father.
This play really gives off an aura of being indulge to the play. The actors and actresses is so focused and because of that they produces an act that is worth our money, very worth it.
It's a little bit like Oediphus Rex but a little different with twist and all. I myself found that the play is very entertaining. I got excited, curious, scared or a little spooked off by the Black Dancers as I called them, and the best off all I enjoyed it..
Keep it up :D
TumugonBurahinThanks a lot!
TumugonBurahinI feel the same thing. The place is like that of a horror scene in the movie :D the surrounding is all red and black and with those black dancers! Wahhh. And I almost freeze because of the air conditioner. That's the most interesting moment I've encountered so far :)
TumugonBurahinOh! We feel the same thing too. I can still remembered the time that I've watched Suhi together with Adelfa that we almost scream and shout everytime the Koro will appear and play their role in the play. But, I can say that the show was portrayed professionally by the cast.
