Performance Details
The Performance
A musical drama featuring Penang’s journey to Merdeka. Ronggeng Merdeka features the sung stories of Penang residents from the 1930s, through the Japanese Occupation, up to the period of Merdeka. It captures the rhythms and sounds of school, street life and the trades of the diverse communities of Penang through song,dance & drama
Community Tour
Following Penang’s tradition of street performances such as Chinese opera, Dondang Sayang, Boria, and Ronggeng which has been enjoyed by various ethnic communities Ronggeng Merdeka will perform in community spaces, in the open air, in 5 locations in Penang:
{ Teluk Bahang - 4 June 07 - 8PM }
{ Seberang Jaya - 7 June 07 - 3PM }
{ Balik Pulau - 9 June 07 - 9.30AM }
{ Air Itam, Reservoir Garden - 10 June 07 - 8PM }
{ Lebuh Armenian, George Town - 16 June 07 - 8PM }
Cross Cultural Exchange
This production promotes pluralism & border crossings. The adult artists & young performers are multiethnic. The musical ensemble mixes the Malay gamelan & wayang kulit instruments with the Chinese erhu & shigu as well as everyday objects & body percussion. The ronggeng ensemble which combines the western violin & flute with the Malay gong and rebana is a mainstay.
Multiculturalism is also portrayed in the mixture of Malay, Hokkien & English lyrics which reflect typical multilingual conversations at the Penang coffeeshop, home or school.
By projecting multiculturalism the show makes a point about the inter-textuality of Penang’s multiethnic society & the spirit of goodwill among its people. It provides an interactive site for a new way of being Malaysian
Recreating Tradition
The text is based on oral interviews with the people of Penang and historical incidences from the period.
Inspiration for movement comes from observations of the movements made by hawkers and traders in coffee shops.
Dances are adapted from bangsawan extra turns in the 1930s & 1940s which include the joget, rumba, inang & zapin.
The music features sounds from the streets, boria & ronggeng songs & dances & songs staged at Penang’s Wembley and Great World Park
