A blogs for the performing arts out-of Indonesia – performances, movies and you will films, group meetings, noteworthy discussions and ongoing search for the Indonesian show from a transnational perspective.
Past (twenty two December) at invite off Purjadi, my pal and you may previous secretary, We went so you can Desa Leuwilaja (Kecamatan Sindangwangi, Kabupaten Majalengka), a little village merely away from town of Jatitujuh, that has been honoring its annual Sedekah Bumi ceremony. Anybody via Bandung both generate a detour through this urban area so you’re able to liking neighborhood ingredients, and head roadway from Cirebon in order to Jatitujuh try layered with fresh fruit stands.
Sedekah Bumi in the Majalengka try notable in vogue, and that was not an exception. Not just try around a remarkable a number of gantungan dangling of this new stage rooftop, including in your neighborhood-created multiple pots that might be distributed one of the painters from the the end of ich wyjaЕ›nienie the brand new let you know, the abilities including checked both top sinden in the Cirebon area, Itih and you will Iwi, who wear complimentary eco-friendly clothing and you will sat on the several layers off cushions from show, particularly queens on their thrones.
This new song requests started almost once Iti and you will Iwi showed up on stage and you can was basically lingering up to I leftover, came across inside the medleys away from four or five audio. The fresh gamble, Purjadi cautioned me ahead of time, perform take next spot to the musical destination on this occasion. This new Bupati, exactly who hailed in the nearby kecamatan regarding Ligung, in which Javanese is additionally spoken and you will wayang kulit preferred, try planned to attend, however, cancelled on last minute as he had to are available till the governor. The audience are very attentive through the – Purjadi said to a single of your own painters when it was not towards the truth it was so dark we may see a good ocean off faces inside the phase. There have been plus good variety of companies offering noodle soup, batagor, tahu goreng, bapao etc.
Because Purjadi predicted, there was very little drama to the display screen yesterday. Brand new play was Gatotgaca Nyungging (Gatotgaca Represented), a vintage branch facts. Within the Purjadi’s telling a keen ogre king’s daughter is wanted by many people suitors and you can good sayembara or event is generated – anybody who can be beat the new king’s minister will acquire the lady hands. Through to the contest enjoys concluded, not, the new little princess tells the woman dad to-name it well since there is already that special someone in her own lifetime. The woman dad the king requires what his name is and you can she claims she will not see getting she only got glimpsed your an effective fantasy. She brings the person off her fantasy (discover photo a lot more than) as well as the queen claims he’s going to actually have so you can institute good new contest – anybody who can bring that it son for the courtroom will get an effective specific award. The brand new dream kid, once the title indicates, are Gatotgaca, who’s also the target away from most other desires – especially a great descendent out-of Naga Percona exactly who aims revenge to have his killing. At the time We left at 1.15am, the battle amongst the descendent from Naga Percona and you may Gatotgaca and you will the punakawan clown servants featured going to begin.
Purjadi, bear in mind, did a fine business when you look at the singing sulukan additionally the puppet voices, along with his puppet moving enjoys improved a lot more recently, which have rigid control for the kendang athlete. Battle moments was indeed formulaic, not, and there try notably less relevant responses than usual. He looked below motivated. Possibly he believed that anyone were not considering your however, in the this new sinden. I became tired and you will disturbed, and even though We liked using my personal ipad and you may showing images I became bringing on the artists, sinden and you may spectators, ultimately We remaining on about 1.fifteen am, over 2 hours up until the prevent of the tell you.
There were nonetheless lights on in the brand new durian stands on fundamental path regional, and that i is actually inclined to stay in and attempt particular. However, I went back back at my hotel as an alternative.
