The theatre


the 5 elective girls making history at CUCMS and lovin' it

...............................................................

"Kanvas " is a theatre produced and presented by the 2nd year students of CUCMS about 2 weeks ago. Tengah2 busy nak 1st prfessional exam plus so many activities going on, sempat lagi derang buat teater. memang tabik habes lah.

It was absolutely entertaining. I didn’t really get the whole story as it was rather deep but I did get the gist of it and also a good laugh as well. It’s about an artist who paints a picture of a lady in white and then she comes to life and wishes to be given the beautiful colours of the world. The artist allowed her to venture into the world and see how bad it actually was and why he refused to tarnish her pure whiteness. So this white lady meets all sorts of people; those who are arrogant, those with a vengeance, those who are greedy. Then, they all met the angel of death and died. And then, the artist woke up from his dream, ces!

The CUCMS students are extremely talented. They went all out for this production. Kagum gile tengok derang buat props, control the lighting and making the sound effects with the keyboard. The pre-requisite to go on-stage is one must cover the aurah, so those who do not wear tudung had to do so if they wanted to be involved, hehe…

I was terribly amazed at how sporting the lecturers were. A deputy dean-cum-cardiologist (Prof Latif) singing and playing the guitar with a band of student guitarists. An anatomist (Prof Nasa) acting as a fisherman and father. The Dean (Pfof Hatta) and deputy Dean (Prof Hamdan) reciting beautiful self-written and heart-warming poems. How cool is that! I can’t imagine that happening in UIA.

I’m glad I went. Lesson of the day: we should celebrate different talents and potentials and channel them towards the cause of the ummah! InshaAllah, the logam in them will be beneficial for the ummah. We just need to provide them with the Islamic fikrah and then they can do wonders.
