PART 1 : PERMATA – A DANCE SPECTACLE OF TRADITIONAL VALUES

SRIWANA having turned 50 last year had reached her epitome of wealth in experience and information. It is with this pride and the feelings of responsible to the society that Sriwana is now back with another major dance production which will exhibit its prowess in the arts. Pledging always the preserving of our rich cultural heritage “Permata” will present an interesting blend of the old and new. This refreshing showcase will also create an awareness to the public of their responsibility in preserving and supporting the local arts group in their individual drives of national responsibility to the arts.

PART 2 : BANGSAWAN – PIONEERING THE LONG LOST ART

Bangsawan theatre is to the Malay community as to what Shakespeare is to the English. It had played a vital part in shaping the direction of Malay theatre to what is it today.

It is also imperative that the general public and the Malay community in particular are made well aware of the current efforts of Sriwana to revive the artistic endeavours and inclinations of all parties.

Therefore, in a bold and visionary step towards progression, Sriwana had engaged the services of experienced professionals to assist in the production, marketing and coordination of the 2006 show in order to achieve the desired results on all key performance indicators, especially to increase the attendance of its shows, satisfaction and entertainment of the public. Directed by J.A Halim, a renowned actor and director, especially in the malay entertainment industry, Bangsawan – Sari Derhaka will be casted by many well-known artiste such as Alias Kadir, Mahadi Shor, Azman Shariff, Amir Kassim, Zainal Ihim, Ahmad Stokin who are just some of the few household names gracing this production.

SYNOPSIS

The play, Sari Derhaka revolves around the legend of Megat Terawis, a respected member and warrior of the royal family set in the early 15th century of old Pahang Kingdom. The story starts with the Prince, struck by the beauty of Megat Terawis’ wife, Siti Hanum, informs his father, the Sultan, of his intentions to prise Siti Hanum from Megat Terawis’ loving embrace.

The Sultan, in such a dilemma over the request of the Prince, consulted with Paduka Haji, a trusted adviser and confidante to the Sultan. To complicate matters further, Paduka Haji is the father of Megat Terawis. Being a loyal adviser to the Sultan and evaluating heavily the impending loss of his beloved daughter in law, Paduka Haji feels responsible to find a just and amicable solution to the problem but in truth, he understands that failing to succumb to the whims of the Sultan and the Prince amounts to treachery and punishable by death to him and his family, without due consideration.

With a heavy heart, Paduka Haji, in the presence of the Sultan, the Prince and Siti Hanum, he ordered that Megat Terawis divorced his wife and to surrender her to the Prince. Megat Terawis, a patriotic warrior and a strong believer of loyalty to the Sultan and against his better judgment and underlying emotional turmoil, agreed to his father’s wishes amid strong emotional resistance from Siti Hanum. Thus, separation from his loving wife is imminent. Siti Hanum, understanding the need to keep the good name of Paduka Haji and not to divert from the path of treachery to the Sultan accepts the decision, albeit involuntarily. The Sultan was pleased that the matter was resolved and the Prince relishes the fact that Siti Hanum is now within his grasp.

In the family home, however, Megat Sari, the younger brother of Megat Terawis feels that the family had committed a dishonorable act by succumbing to the wishes of the Sultan and the Prince. He showed his contempt and resistance openly to his family. Acting out of rage with vengeance in his mind, he subsequently kidnapped the Princess, which brings Megat Terawis hot on his heels.

The play ends with a face off between the two brothers and Megat Terawis emerging as the reluctant victor, with his dying brother in his arms.

To what extent should loyalty and patriotism be extended to personal considerations and to what extend does the Sultan have ultimate power over his people. Where lie justice when injustice seems to prevail and the innocents remains the victims?
