What did our critic think of UNDER THE VOLCANO at CIPUTRA ARTPRENEUR?

Based on a hundred year old poem, Bumi Purna Indonesia and Ciputra Artpreneur will bring the bombastic yet poignant UNDER THE VOLCANO to Jakarta on August 27. The production will run twice, starting at 16.00 and 20.00, at the Ciputra Artpreneur Theater.

I La Galigo will play at Ciputra Artptreneur Theater July 3-7, 2019.

Sureq Galigo, an epic creation myth from the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, might not ring a bell to most Indonesians. But since 2004, American playwright Robert Wilson has adapted one of its stories into a theatrical experience called I LA GALIGO. And after international runs in 9 countries and 12 cities, I LA GALIGO will return to Indonesian stage at the Ciputra Artpreneur, Jakarta, this July.

From Indonesia's most celebrated director, Garin Nugroho, comes Satan Jawa, a newly commissioned silent feature film steeped in Javanese mythology with a live score by Australia's Iain Grandage and Indonesia's Rahayu Supanggah featuring a thrilling blend of Western symphonic tradition and Indonesian gamelan music. Satan Jawa will be a feature of Asia TOPA and will be performed at Arts Centre Melbourne's Hamer Hall on 24 February 2017.
