I received a text from a fairly articulate chap who host’s the Fairly Current Show informing me about his much heard about performance, Wayang Buku.

Unfortunately, I’ve a test and an assignment deadline tomorrow. But I suggest you go. It’s brilliant.

This is what Sharon Bakar wrote about their (Fahmi Fadzil & Azmyl Yunor) performance at July’s Readings @ Seksan, the same one I spoke at,

It’s a quirky sequence of sketches which begins with a version of the traditional puppet play with books as the protagonists, then has Fahmi as a talk show host interviewing celebrities represented by books (How do you concoct the Malaysian recipe for harmony?) and then has a hilarious dialogue in which Azmyl tries to persuade Fahmi to buy a thick book which can be used for every reason it seems … apart from reading. Their performance ended up with a very laid back piece of A4 paper getting interviewed!

*Yes I was at that same event in Bangsar on Saturday 26 July to talk about RWP (pictures of that mad weekend here), but I had to go almost immediately after my slot for another slot in Taman Tun (Farish Noor’s book launch). Just so we’re clear that I’ve never seen the fireworks these guys bring. But in so far as I know, coming from their lot, it’s mad creative. Word around the camp fire concurs.
