Since not many big budget theater production come our way in Malaysia, I don't want to miss watching this at Istana Budaya last saturday.
Based on National Laureate Datuk Noordin Hassan’s book ‘Mana Setangginya’, this production has been dubbed as a Malay ‘Lord of the Rings’. Well, I would not put it that way, but the set decoration, designs and special effects were quite extraordinary and extravagant.

Even though it was in Malay, it does not deal with malay culture, far from it. It was in the era of old civilisation i.e where the Book of Torah was concerned. The end of civilisation to be exact when greed's, corruption, betrayal invaded a religious society with rigid rules and structures and the arrival of other forces which challenges the status quo and the harmony of a society.
The pictures below tells the story of this epic adventure theater.
Azizah Mahzan gave her best performance as usual
Tony Eusoff as Yuda and Sabrina Ali as Iryam were good too
Another great performances
An expert from US were flown for this flying faeries scenes
The costumes were outrageously magnificent
The big monster eel destroying the village..
An outstanding performance, a standing ovation
