PNG talent search

Mt Hagen to be a surprise for Yu Em Khax auditions

But unlike other centres, the Mount Hagen talent is unpredictable for the judges and is expected to surprise them.

 Loop PNG got to talk with the super judge of the Yu Em Khax show, Calextus Simeon:

“The Mt Hagen auditions is one that is hard to predict, frankly speaking, because I don’t know what kind of talent to expect.

“We know that up in the highlands, they may have some surprising package for us.”

“I would like to see talents from the Highlands because one of the things we are lacking are talents from that region.

Yu Em Khax scouts in Lae

A total of 7 crew members left Port Moresby late yesterday for the capital of Morobe Province. Seven more will leave today and a few more on Saturday in time for registrations, which begin at 10am.

Lae is the second centre the scouts of Digicel Play’s newest TV show are in to search for talents.

The idea of the show is to identify one unique talent in PNG, thus auditions are open to all acts; singers, dancers, musicians, comedians, poets, illusionists and magicians are all welcome!

Yu Em Khax ‘magician’ is touch of class at first audition

“We know it’s just a trick but it blew our minds watching the scarf literally lift from the ground as the magician lifted his hands without physical contact. This is the quality we are looking for,” Simeon has stressed.

The team will be travelling to Lae to scout unique talents from the province this weekend.

“I am expecting more b-boys or break dance crews trying out from Lae because this is where break dancing started. There should also be a lot of acting and at least one or two traditional dances or cotemporary in that matter,” Simeon says.
