Individual Dance Items

Item #1

  • Title:Perempuan Pandai Sendiri
  • Item Synopsis / Program Notes:

    The piece is based on the biography of the kind and respected Sultan Alauddin who once ruled the land of Malacca a long time ago. The queen, Tun Senaja, betrayed Sultan Alauddin, forming an unholy alliance with Raja Ahmad to take over the empire. She went to Sultan Alauddin while he was in mourning, and poisoned him through the food which he ate immediately after breaking fast in the month of Ramadhan. It is a painful and bitter sight to see someone being betrayed, especially by someone so close, but the strongest message of this show is very clear: the ones whom we love are our greatest weakness.
