Children’s Theatre ‘Di Mana Putra’ To Captivate Audience In Kelantan This Friday And Saturday

Kelantan: The Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture, through the Kelantan National Department for Culture and Arts (JKKN), will bring to the stage a theatre performance titled Di Mana Putra at the Kelantan JKKN Complex Auditorium this Friday and Saturday.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the performance, organised in collaboration with Persatuan Anak Seni Pendidikan Kelantan (ASPEK), Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) Eastern Region, and the Kelantan State Education Department, will feature 65 actors of different ages, races, and backgrounds. This follows the success of the Karya Agung: Tok Janggut '13 Liang' performance in 2024, with ASPEK introducing a new children's theatre piece, Di Mana Putra by Lamia Aimal.

Di Mana Putra showcases a unique blend of animated characters and iconic figures such as Captain Jack Sparrow, Peter Pan, Tok Kenali, and Sergeant Che Hassan (Tok Janggut). The storyline is crafted to be simple yet engaging, especially for children, and includes interactive participation between the actors and the audience.

The production also conveys messages of harmony and noble values. The local cast's performance, combined with the creative vision of director Aqil Rozai, a graduate of the National Academy of Arts, Culture and Heritage (ASWARA), provides the production with a fresh and distinctive appeal.

JKKN notes that the audience will have the opportunity to win lucky draw prizes and the Best Costume Award, which will be selected by the production team. The department believes that the production will enhance the standing of local theatre while promoting cultural activities as tourism products for Kelantan.

The event will also see attendance from notable figures such as Kelantan Tourism, Culture, Arts and Heritage Committee chairman Datuk Kamarudin Md Nor and JKKN deputy director-general (Culture and Arts Sector) Mohd Radzi Omar.
