The Sabah Fest 2011 is on 30 April & 1 May 2011, held at The Sutera Magellan Ballroom. On both nights, there will be a musical-type show with traditional dances set to the folklore "Papakang - The Odyssey of Seven Brothers". You can read the whole story
here.
The stage in the Ballroom looked all set ...
... including the nicely decorated ceiling. Unfortunately, I was told both performances were SOLD-OUT!
Out in the foyer, there was the Handicraft and Food exhibition ...
... with the usual mix of native products (interesting) and the commercial stuff (not so interesting).
The
Sompoton ...
... a guy playing the bamboo sax ...
... a unique musical instrument from Sabah; with a case some more! ...
... made from bamboo sections glued together; it was organic and was very "Green Tech" ...
... a Tuan Haji with a set of very shiny Gongs ...
... a lady weaving the Kadazandusun hat ...
... another lady weaving cloth ...
... with colourful and intricate geometric designs (pixels?) ...
... another really colourful cloth ...
... done on-site ...
... there were various other products; from colourful and traditional boxes ...
... to modern batiks ...
... and painted stones ...
... and art ...
... and metal-forged knicknacks ...
... and our Orang Utans reduced to becoming soft plush toys (rather hideous looking though) ...
... finally, not forgetting the local food.
