Reposted from @pkktuankubainun : Theatre KuAsh at PKK Tuanku Bainun is proud to feature the multi-talented artist Tria Aziz, as part of its first production! The award-winning musical theatre performer, singer, and actor will be playing the SPIRIT OF GAZA in TALES OF A CITY BY THE SEA, written by Samah Sabawi and directed by Wahibe Moussa. A multi-award winning singer and entertainer, Tria has been performing on the musical stage for 12 years. She has been in more than 20 productions, performing mostly English Musicals. Some of her memorable performances include “DanSing” Thru Broadway, “Kurang Manis”, “Adam The Musical”, “Shout The Mod Musical”, “1Sex 1Money 1Scandal”, “The Edge” (for which she won the BOH Cameronian Arts Award for Best Musical Performer 2014), “The Wizard of Oz”, “Aladdin A Musical Comedy” and most recently, “One Thousand Million Smiles, A Musical Tribute to Sudirman ~ Asia’s Best Performer”. In 2007, she sung a soundtrack for a local award-winning Malaysian movie “Waris Jari Hantu”. She also lends her voice for various Malaysian cartoon dubbing projects, most of which have been aired on Astro. Tales of a City by the Sea will be her first international production venture in which she will be singing in Arabic, also a first for this multi-talented artist. TALES OF A CITY BY THE SEA is a gripping story featuring the universal themes of love, resilience and the human spirit, set in the Gaza strip in 2008. Playing to sell-out houses and critical acclaim in major Australian cities, the production has already SOLD OUT several nights in Kuala Lumpur.

Leafing, gazing, reading... Artist Chin Kon Yit spent 15 years on the masterpieces in here, some of which - like Bok House - don't exist anymore. Now that's dedication to your life's work. Thank you @richard.harding.gardner and Chae Lian for this amazing tome!

So, in my art history class today, my professor was talking about something that is so fuckin awesome.

These are warrior shields from the Wahgi people of Papua New Guinea. The warriors paint them with imagery meant to symbolize animals who have traits they wish to embody in battle. These depictions are intended to give the person using it the powers of what they’re depicting.

Now. Look at this Wahgi shield:

Hmm. That looks a bit different from the others.

That looks VERY different. Why, it looks like

The Phantom… American comic book character by Lee Falk. And that’s because it is.

The Wahgi people were isolated from the rest of the “modern” world until 1933. They came into contact with WWII service men who shared some aspects of western culture with the tribesmen. In particular, they showed them the comic books they read while shipped out. The Wahgi loved them. In particular, the Wahgi adored the stories of the Phantom, who wasn’t even particularly popular in its home of America.

He is so popular that the few Wahgi who can read english will read the comics out loud in the village center and hold out the pages for everyone to see, so the whole tripe can enjoy them and marvel at the Phantom’s might in battle.

They identify with the Phantom because he came from a jungle territory, like them, wore a mask to fight, like them, and came from a long line of warriors, which the Wahgi, who worshiped their ancestors, deeply respected. Further, despite not really having superpowers, the Phantom is strong, clever, and incredibly fast. He was so fast that his enemies began to believe that he was impervious to bullets and could not be killed.

Therefore, the Wahgi began painting HIM on their shields to invoke HIS abilities in battle. There are TONS of Phantom-Wahgi shields out there.

So, you might think that you’re huge comic book fan, but the Wahgi have taken their Phantom fandom to the next level and have made the Phantom a fucking talisman to carry into battle for strength.
