GEORGE TOWN FESTIVAL The George Town Festival takes place from 15 June to 15 July <strong>2012</strong>. Here are some highlights: 15 JUNE: SILAT — OUR HERITAGE FOR THE WORLD The gala opening performance is a ‘hybrid theatre performance’ by award-winning producer-director Saw Teong Hin, featuring traditional music plus visual and martial arts. 5, 6, 7 JULY — RASA SAYANG A new interdisciplinary dance theatre developed by Malaysian director-dancer Tony Yap with musician-composers Tim Humphrey and Madeleine Flynn, visual artist Naomi Ota and creative collaborator Ben Rogan. Named after his mother, it’s based on a mix of Eastern and Western spiritual themes. 6, 7, 8 JULY — UNESCO ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION Taking place in the George Town Heritage Zone, this is an introduction to regional performing arts such as Chinese puppet theatre, angklung and sufi singer, which are in danger of disappearing. MIRRORS GEORGE TOWN Mural paintings on buildings in the heritage area by international artist Ernest Zacharevic, which portray the residents of Penang celebrating multiculturalism and diversity, will turn George Town into an open-air free gallery. CLOCKWISE FROM MAIN: The 1881 Chong Tian Cultural Hotel has two eateries, a small museum and two serene air wells of only two buildings in Asia to make the list. Built in the 1890s by a penniless Hakka water bearer from China, who went on to become one of the wealthiest businessmen in Asia, the traditional Chinese courtyard house became derelict but was restored to its former glory in the 1990s. Daily tours are conducted and there is a small museum on the ground fl oor. In Chulia Street, an impressive, traditional Chinese entrance leads to the 20-room Yeng Keng Boutique Hotel, set in an Anglo- Indian family bungalow built in the mid-1800s. The building was extended and converted into a HERITAGE // hotel at the beginning of the 1900s, but by the 1980s had deteriorated into a run-down hostel for backpackers. In 2009, the present owners renovated it, adding a swimming pool and ensuite bathrooms — and in the process unearthed some original features like the fl oor tiles which had previously been hidden under layers of concrete. In the late 19th century, the horses that drew the carriages of the nearby grand folk were stabled in Muntri Street, and in a small mews halfway up, the carriages themselves were housed in a deep, two-storey building, which has now been converted into Muntri Mews. “The drivers and staff were quartered above,” explains Ong, who bought the Grade 2-listed building in 2009. His ground fl oor Mews Café is a peaceful place to chill. Hotel Penaga at the corner of Hutton Lane and Lebuh Clarke is a project by KL architect Hijjas Kasturi. Converted from a cluster of 15 pre-war terraces and shophouses using recycled material where 047
