Finally the day that everyone had been waiting for. Reaching Changi Airport as early as 8.30am to check in and get our boarding pass. Feeling excited for the trip.
We then landed in Mandalay in the evening and plans for the 1st day was just very simple. Before heading to Mandalay City Hotel to settle down, we head to one of the restaurant for our first traditional dinner. I wasn't expecting any better food because it was my first time having Myanmar food. Amazingly, it was not that bad from what I thought.
As promised, we head to Mandalay Marionettes to watch the whole performances. It was then we started capturing the moment and documenting what was important for our up coming documentary that's going to be exhibit 2 weeks after we goes back to Singapore.
I was part of the production team and I head to the backstage to took some cut aways / pick up shots for the documentary. It was quite hard to capture the moment during the performance as the stage was really small and there were about 6 - 7 at the backstage preparing for the before and during the performance. I had only two small portion / corner of the stage to capture the moment. The whole perform took about an hour or so, a longer performance compared to performance Ma Ma Naing and her team performed when they were in Singapore for the workshop.
After the first day of experience, I really felt that the whole process of the performance was really worth watching.
