Last weekend I got the privileged to watch Theater : Natrah – “cinta dan air mata” @ Istana Budaya for the 2nd time. Yurrp, back to theater again. Directed by the famous Eirma Fatima.
A story bout a dutch girl who was given away to a Malay silk merchant during the trouble times during the invasion of Japanese army to Indonesia. Natrah was brought over to Kemaman and brought up as a muslimin with the help of the adopted mother. The bio parents came about to know that she was still alive and want her back with them. As they argue and struggle about parenting rights, religion and love totally made the poor little Natrah confuse. As her heart is at Malaya (that time around) but was force to go back to let go her childhood life and back to Holland. She ended up converting back to Catholic as she was still under age according to the dutch law.
She just pass away early this year. This living legend, died of leukemia. She was emotional turmoiled as she tried to commit suicide several time. Its a very heavy story line but excellently done with the colorful dance choreography and dialog that is so simple but yet made you think. Though the level of the dance routine sometimes overshadow the main character which makes the stage very crowded.
Since it was the second time I watched it, I found out there's was a small different where the main character Natrah fell onto the adopted mum Aminah during the last struggle. But it was superbly covered. What people don't know don't hurt. Among of the all star actors and actress are Maya Karin, Remy Ishak, Sofea Jane, Umie Aida.
well that's what I think about the show of cause. Who am I..? just a spectator.
After that, thanks to mummy we had supper at the VIP room together with all the producer and also my significant other. It was so awkwardly for us to be there. But we had the table for our self. Till next theater. Other place plz. Dewan Bandaraya ker DBP ker.who knows
