Art of Genital Origami
Sunday, May 07, 2006

Yes, you heard me right, it's "genital" origami but not generic, general or whatever that's similar to the spelling of it. Genital Origami or namely "Puppetry of the Penis" is a performance show that first started in 1997 as a live show by Simon Morley and David "Friendy" Friend (they are both Australians). The theatrical contortion of the male genitalia (penis, scrotum and testicles) into various positions along with comedic narration has since spread internationally. It is humorously called "genital origami" referring to the flexibility of the human penis. Some of their tricks require an uncircumcised penis, others do not (at least that's what i think, so, sorry to all the "clean" ppl out there, you cant practice those). They are indeed famous, and has shows running around the world, EU, US, NZ, AUS, etc.. (but will never be allowed to perform in malaysia, trust me).

Now, why am i suddently so engrossed into this penis contortion thinggy? Is it because of my utter curiosity and attitude to challenge n therefore a challenge as such?
A: Because i've just came back from their live show yesterday night (80+ minutes of breathtaking performance) and so, i thought of promoting them a lil bit.. and i assure you i WILL not risk any part of my genitalia just to perform dick tricks like they did.

Right, this is actually the second time i've been to their show, last year around july, i've witnessed it for the first time together with my mate, Ric, Nicole and Boon, the incredible art of genital contortion. This year round, because of peer pressure and such.. i decided to revisit the 8th.. hmm.. no.. 8th and 9th wonders of the world once more, and of course with the intention of releasing distresses and pressures that has been poured onto me due to assignment and other tensions.

Evidently, i went with 6 other anxious human beings who has high curiousity towards penises that could transform into unthinkable shapes or performing acts that are theoritically impossible. I would not include their names, as it might be shameful to them or whatever, but oh well.. it was En Nick, Ashley who bought the tickets online, Sook Yee and yen Yen then decided to tag along.. with Andrew cheong misteriously involved together and jason to conform and participate along the way.

Well, with little hesitation.. i decided to go again.. tho it cost me 30 bloody aussie dollar to watch 2 penises morphing around.. and that's what i thought before the show.. coz i thought i would witnessed again many familiar features.. however.. seriously.. however.. they included so much new tricks that are so amusing and also.. not to mention the supporting act that tag along before the 2 birdman's performance - Anna Hoffman, she did quite a good job setting up the mood and appetite (alright maybe that's not the right word). With all those installation that they have constructed for me.. i felt that the money is well spent.

As, we cant possibly witness anything similar to that in malaysia.. and why not treat it as an once (twice for me) in a lifetime experience?? Well.. i shouldnt spoil you much bout the show.. by disclosing too much or what they will do in their show.. that will reduce expectation and the effect of surprise when you actually see it "live" and "alive". However.. there are few things that i could spare..

Rule #1 - if you have offensive feelings towards extreme exposure of male genitalia, don't go, or prepared to get brainwash and have a good laugh at it everytime you sees it in the future

Rule #2 - treat it as some kind of abstract art or something.. but rather not like a freak show

Rule #3- try not to be too serious bout the matter that 2 guys getting naked and swing their thinggys around, it's part of their job, their profession, and their "pride"

Rule #4- DO NOT try those at home, unless you have proper guidance such as the DVD or the guide book they sell (yes, they somehow managed to find a publisher to publish it)

Rule #5- DO NOT push it too hard, if you somehow decided to practice it, and "ladies!! Ask permission first!" (Friendy, 2006)


Those are the rules that i've made up.. not for myself! Trust me not.. i might try out some of those..but with the objective of not spoiling anything with priority...

Now, here's some teasers you can watch yourself, click here, and... remember ah.. mature content ah.. so if you are really under 18, must ask mummy and daddy first ah.. and dont share it with your lil siblings or so ah... you dont want them to play with their own and something gone wrong..

Alright one last push.. as their promotion.. imagine this.. (guys only).. have you ever imagine that.. you could make yoda from starwars out of your penis? well.. if you dont, they could!!
