Ombak!

I found out about this through a friend whose daughter was involved in the production.  Produced by Rhythm in Bronze, this music theatre production showcased a cast of 23 children agred between 8 to 18.  It is a story about a group of children who ride the waves and oceans as they sail to the frozen north to search for their parents who were spirited away by a magical bird.
 
 
We went for the 8pm show last Saturday, and the almost 2.5 hour show was well worth the ticket price.  An energetic performance that incorporates plenty of gamelan and other traditional music, the girls enjoyed is tremendously, and was humming the song from the show even days after.
