1h An exceptionally powerful appeal to fully appreciate the complexity of humanity
The Indonesian dancer Rianto is a guest at DE SINGEL for the third time. For ‘Hijrah’, he explores the history and culture of the Indonesian island Sulawesi. His aim is to uncover the highly diverse gender approaches that are anchored in the tradition and old dance forms there. Rianto is exceptionally talented at understanding and embodying the in-between space: the space between traditional and contemporary culture, between the male and the female. Together with the renowned film-maker Garin Nugroho, he went to Sulawesi to capture the traces of a dying tradition on film. He mixes this footage on stage with dance and live music. Rianto will be accompanied by the exceptional vocalist Cahwati Sugiarto. As always, his starting point is his own body and biography. In his work, the personal becomes political. Hijrah is an appeal to fully appreciate the complexity of humanity and avoid binary opposites.
