Southeast Asia's first 360 degree rotating audience platform at Encore Melaka

Good day to dear reader and visitor, it's a beautiful Monday. Today sharing with you about the beautiful Encore Melaka that I have visited during the Guardian Malaysia's Wellness Retreat. To see some sneak peak of the untold stories of Melaka , you need to watch the video below. It's the first day of Guardian Malaysia's Wellness Retreat, you may click on the link to read.

The evening we are invited to watch the untold stories of Melaka at Southeast Asia's first 360 degree rotating audience platform at Encore Melaka. Ths 70 minute long mega show recounts the long-forgotten tales; stories of the early voyagers, legacy of Cheng Ho's diplomatic mission, indigenous settlement and cross-cultural encounters such as the Baby Nyonya. The audience will be transported through different eras, presented in English, Bahasa Malaysi, Mandarin, Tamil, local dialects and Portuguese to reflect the harmony that exists within Melaka.

The theatre buidling was designed by Mr. Wang Ge from the Beijing Institute of Architectural Design (BIAD). Specially design for the Encore Melaka performance, the theatre building occupies 15 acres and overlooks the scenic water view of the Stratis of Melaka.

The geometric facade has concaved arcs made out of thousands of fish scale-like LED panels, which reflects light from the ever-changing and vibrant sky of Melaka. The Encore Melaka theatre embodies the cloud and the sea, movement and serenity, and where East meets West. This unconventional concept represents a journey through time and space, complementing the Encore Melaka performance.
