Video Roh Sembrani

This is the act when the main character 'Miskon' was dancing 'Kuda Kepang' for the first time. He was possessed by the spirit of 'Kuda Sembrani'.



This is the act when the two characters which portrays the originator of the dance' Kuda Kepang'. The characters represented two princes from Java.



The theatre was a joint-collobaration between Dewan Bahasa Pustaka Wilayah Selatan and Persatuan Teater Kesuma-I Johor Bahru.

Roh Sembrani...Again

My mom wanted to watch the theatre again..(*sigh*) and I can't believe that I actually went along with that idea! (*double sigh*). This time, we brought the two angels, and also our Bibik. Well, having watched last night, I'd have to admit that I was able to follow the story lines better. I enjoyed the dancing acts. Our Bibik, who's actually an East Javanese Ponorogo woman, watched the theatre excitedly, I might say (*chuckled*). However, Harith spent his time whining all the way ("Ummi...I want to go home.") and Hannah spent her time hiding behind her 'Tom' (Tom is what she calls her pillow).

These are all the hard-working crews who have done a tremendously good job. Kudos to Persatuan Teater Kesuma-I Johor Bahru.

After the theatre, Mom wanted to go the Floral Festival. There's an International Floral Festival here in Johor Bahru. The 'Agong' and the Prime Minister were here this morning to launch it.

Me and the kids in front of the Float representing Kelantan. Harith was pinching his nose all the time we were there because he couldn't stand the smell of too many flowers. I would have to agree with him.

Roh Sembrani

Last night, I went to watch a theatre called 'Roh Sembrani'. Well, actually Mom was the one who insisted on watching it. So, I just had to go along to avoid her sulking if I don't bring her there. :P

Being my first time watching a theatre, I think it was quite enjoyable..at first. But then, the story took a turn when I wasn't sure what is the background time anymore. Anyway, the theatre is about 'Kuda Kepang', a traditional dance in Johor (mainly among Javanese people) which originated all the way from Ponorago, Java.
