11 – 14 Jul 2019 UDARA Don’t Let Usman Awang Know 《别让乌斯曼阿旺知道的事》
Udara (Theatre/ Mandarin)
Inspired by Dato’ Dr. Usman Awang’s Uda dan Dara. It is an age-old story of two star-crossed lovers from different backgrounds – a woman born into an affluent family and a man who grew up in poverty.
Nisan condong tegak bertaburan
gadis menangis kehibaan
tidak ada padang perjuangan
pahlawan gugur tergelimpangan
墓碑直直斜凌乱
心碎姑娘哀哭悲伤
战士征途还未踏上
不幸坠落缘难断
Easee Gan’s Udara brings together Usman Awang’s Uda dan Dara and a famed Chinese legend The Butterfly Lovers which tells the tragic tale of a pair of lovers.
祝英台与乌达在UDARA车站相遇，似成相识的际遇，能否勾起记忆的涟漪。爱如空气，只有与你一起，生命才有了呼吸。哪怕你忘了我，若有来世，我愿化蝶落在你肩上，守住你不经意的执着。
