Iron Gang Puppet Theatre brings story of Si Tanggang to PJPac stage


Iron Gang Puppet Theatre’s debut production at Petaling Jaya Performing Arts Centre (PJPac) this weekend is one that celebrates a classic folk tale from the region and the values we hold close to our hearts. In this contemporary iron-rod puppetry performance, titled Ibu, the story of Si Tanggang is given a contemporary interpretation.

The original story: After leaving his village and becoming rich and successful, Si Tanggang is ashamed of his humble origins and on a trip back home, refuses to recognise his elderly mother. Heartbroken, she curses him and when he sets sail, he and his ship turn to stone.
