Theater: Badai Semalam

Awesome.. This is the third time i ever watched a theater, but this is the first time i watch one at Istana Budaya.. Being there making me feel like i was in the Opera House..

The teater started at 8:30 pm.. When i first enter that place, i was shocked by the picture projected at the screen..

See, the picture was terrifying.. The woman seemed like having no face, with long hair.. Anyway, my seat was at U34.. Quite behind, but my mom said, the further behind, the more expansive the ticket is.. (what??? In lecture hall, the lecturer asked us to sit in front.. More input when you are in front..) Anywai, at the top of the projected picture, there was something written which is, "Badai Semalam, cinta, cita-cita dan pengorbanan"

We seated there for a while, it was raining inside the hall.. The sounds of rain and thunder, together with the lighting make the rain felt real.. Suddenly, a man called out, Diana! and i said to my sister,
Me: dia panggil akak la..
Sis: ye la, dia panggil diana, bukan nadia
Me: dia cakap Nadianadianadiana..
Sis: ...

My mum and dad

Me.. It was dark, so the picture blurred a bit..

My Sister.. 

Me again

Later, a person at the microphone in a nearby box said that we be singing our National Anthem.. It have been a while since the last time i sang the National Anthem.. Next, he explained a little bit about the play that evening.. According to him, the play was based on a novel also entitled Badai Semalam by Khadijah Hashim.. 

Then, the theater started.. The first one to appear was Mazni, starring Erra Fazira.. She was stopping a train.. Then a woman came in and sang a song..

Overall, the play was awesome.. There were scenes that make you laugh, scenes that make you feel sad, and scenes that make you wanna laugh although the nature of the scene was sad.. I can't describe more.. 

The thing that i observed the most is the lighting.. The lighting was awesome.. Huh, the beauty of technology..I also observed the fog.. In my opinion, it will be amazing if the fog that passes through the light will be shaped into Mazni whenever Zaki(Fizz Fairuz) was monolog-ing..

It was 11:15pm when the play ended.. There will be a 20 minutes autograph session.. We joined that one.. 

I bought a poster, and i asked the casts to sign it.. If i would, i wanted to take the picture with all the casts, but there was table that separate us, so, i just snap a picture witha Aaron Aziz who played Karim.. 

    

This is us, me, my sis, Aaron aziz, and the novel Badai Semalam

So, I missed several TV Programmes, but i have fun last night..
