Rahman B has but one wish before death comes-a-calling. He wants to showcase a full-fledged production of the Bangsawan. Call it a grand finale. Or a curtain call. He is after all 83 now and not in the best of health. He has a pacer to monitor his heart.

But his passion for the genre that has defined him never diminished. He is the last of the Mohicans in the world of the Bangsawan. He is the last tokoh (a person of prominent) in the dying theatrical genre. He is also the last link to the grand old theatre style.
