I was intrigued by the fact that the Malaysian local theater scene is now doing gay-themed productions. When I heard about the production of "Octopus" by the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Center (KLPAC), I contacted the publicist expressing my interests to chat with the director Kelvin Wong. You'll learn a bit about the play, the production, the challenges and how this play goes beyond sexual orientation. If knowing what does it really mean to say "I love you", then you'll find this play worth checking out. If you're gay, and you're in KL, you must see this, and bring your straight friends along.

But in the meantime, my dream of listening to a Malaysian produced show that speak to me personally is finally here.

There has been Malaysian produced shows coming and going, but this is the one that speak to me the most. Not only is the language used closed to my heart, it is also daringly, GAY.

So, this may not be a language that you can understand, but if you do understand Mandarin, especially the very casual and colloquial Malaysian Mandarin, this show is for you. It doesn't matter if you're gay, bi, queer, intersex, transgender, or straight, this show is just pure fun. Well, as long as you can understand.
