  "account": "M Mansur & Liu expressed their desire to attend the performance at Istana Budaya. The play was directed by M Nasir, a renowned artist who greatly influenced the speaker's life since their teenage years through his music and lyrics. Mansur & Liu's debut as a theater director was notable, although theater was not entirely unfamiliar to the director, who had previously acted extensively in plays like Wira Bukit by A Samad Said (1986) and had collaborated with Fauziah Nawi in Antara Lewat 90-an. The speaker was eager to learn about the outcome of the stage being given to Mansur & Liu. To their satisfaction, Mansur & Liu delivered a captivating performance with visually appealing elements, sophisticated lighting, shadow play, LED screens, unique sensations, costumes, actor movements (blocking), and overall unity that made the audience forget they were watching a play. The excitement of watching overshadowed the presence of a long-lost friend and a fellow artist sitting behind them.",
