I just love the look on the face of the guy in the middle. While the two singers are dueting away, he's giving me this sideways why-are-you-pointing-your-camera-at-me look!
I've no idea what this guy was singing about but he was going at it all-in. You can see the sweat on his brow - but then this is semi-tropical Malaysia. I was struck by this guy's gold jacket and the way it's reflecting some of the red stage lighting. Clearly, from the shadow on the rear wall, the main light here is a spotlight out front.
I don't know if I just happened to be in Penang during a 'fringe' style event or if this sort of thing just goes on all the time but with a one-day break, the street theater stage than had hosted the Chinese Opera was now hosting a variety show - singing, dancing and comedy. I have to say, I didn't really get the comedy but the locals seemed to find it funny.
