When an Indo watch a Malaysian Social Parody: INDICINELIVE! 3
If you do not know who is Rosmah Mansor, or how TM officers treat you when your internet is down, neither you are aware of what is happening in Sabah and Sarawak, then you will end up dozing off in your seat like a few Mat Sallehs I met while watching the premier night of INDICINELIVE! 3 on 6 April 2011 at KLPac.
I came there almost clueless of what to expect; as happened my boy scored the premier tickets through a TimeOut KL contest. It was my very first theatrical play. Knowing beforehand that it was going to be a social parody, I assumed it would either be a super-serious commentary, or a brainless comedy.
We sat in, the front row it was, and boy I was amazed since the very first sketch! I am trying not to spoil too much here, but I could not stop laughing in awe! It was really really sharp and smart, and at the same time it is sooooo funny! I don’t really know how to describe it, but it was just soo..right!
I could not count how many times I said to myself: Goodness, that is so true!! The acting, the chemistry between actors, the topics, the way they switch between issues and songs, it was just so neat that throughout the 80 minutes, not one minute I leaned back to my chair.
It was just amazing how they remember every line, every position, and change costumes in a matter of seconds! Salute them for being able to portray every character (plus their different accents!) and sing and dance :)
I never thought I could be as stunned as if I am watching a Zee Avi concert (she’s my biggest Malaysian idol), by a bunch of new people!
In short, INDICINE! crew has made poking fun at social issues and public figures, much more fun and memorable than it ever was :)
PS: I have officially turned into a fangirl since last Wednesday midnight. I managed to get some pictures with the actors. Tweets from Indicine and Ui Hua have really made my day :) Master Tang, Sheety, Babe Rempits, China Man, gorgeous gay, and Borneo people, I am a fan!! *hearts*
PSS: Read INDICINE’s crew interview with Esquire. If you say it is not funny, you are lying! http://www.esquire.my/Entertainment/Theatre/article/Indicinelive-3
