The TENG Company's video: Departures Suriram Di Tanjong Katong

A dejected dancer rediscovers her love for dance through simple joys and the help of a friend. -- ABOUT THE PIECE: Departures is inspired by lost love and unforgettable memories. Two Malay songs feature prominently in this work: the lullaby Suriram and Osman Ahmad’s Di Tanjong Katong. Suriram, believed to be written in the 1400s, speaks of a mother pining for her child, while Di Tanjong Katong, which was written by Ahmad in the 1900s, features a chorus that speaks of yearning and longing for love. -- PRESENTED BY: The TENG Ensemble - http://www.facebook.com/theTENGcompany Fiction Shore - http://fictionshore.com Composer: Chow Jun Yi https://about.me/junyi.chow Arranger/Producer: Huang Peh Linde Recording & Mixing Engineer: Huang Peh Linde PRODUCTION TEAM: Music video produced by Fiction Shore http://fictionshore.com Dancers: Setia Vegawati, Syazwan Rahmad Director/Director of Photography/Editor: Nelson Yeo Producer: Xu Xin'en Live Producer: Koo Chia Meng Drivers: Derek Liow, Chris Yeo Make-up: Jeffrey Linus Lee Special Thanks: Teater Ekamatra -- ABOUT THE ENSEMBLE: The TENG Ensemble bridges the traditional and contemporary, the East and West, and the old and new.
