Scatter-Brain

opening scene

I've been anticipating this so much!

But honestly the first half of the show feels like draging. Too long and too slow. Though the acting is top notch and the some parts was interesting, i felt it was too draging to the point of boring. Even some people is just sleep through it. The second half is much more interesting because the story was just moving along in faster pace. But in terms of the story flow overall it's just flat.

The stage though, Wow! I love the way they use projector. The great props and of course costumes, always fantastic to see them. Great attention to details and have i said i love their costumes?! It's sparkling!!!

And kudos for incorporating every indonesian cultures bit in any way you can. I found the 'dalang' (story teller) and wayang potehi human version is absolutely remarkable! they also incorporated batik in everywhere they can on the costumes. Awesome!

Although it's not as good as the previous works but it's still worth to watch! Catch them while you can ;)
