- is a German expression typically said at the beginning of a film screening or at a theatre play - in the meaning of raising the curtain at the theatre.
Malaysian students present their home state in a theatre play titled '100% Terengganu'.
At the end of January 2024, about 50 students from our Bildungskooperation Deutsch (BKD) schools from SMK Chukai and SMK Tengku Lela Segara had opened their curtains. They presented their own theatre documentaries titled "100% Terengganu" to answer some of these questions:
What makes someone typical from Terengganu?
What are the favourite places by the locals in Terengganu?
And what would you do if you were the mayor of your town?
The output was highly creative. For example, there was a scene that showed how aliens from outerspace landed in Chukai and learned so much about the local people and their culture. Notably, all dialogues in the theatre productions were conversed fully in German. After an enjoyable experience, we hope to raise another curtain in Terengganu soon and explore more theatre talents with our partner schools.
