About the production
En route to Temasek, a boat led by Sri Tri Buana, a young prince from Palembang, was hit by a storm. To prevent from capsizing, the crew downloaded heavy items onto the sea, with the hope to lighten the boat. Chaos still. It was only after the young prince let go of his Crown, threw it into the sea, that the storm subsided.
Miracle? No? Why did that happen?
Find out in this epic adventure - in a theatrical bangsawan production outdoor setting - that traces the founding of Singapore, based on the Malay Annals (Sulalatus Salatin).
