The Indonesian Dialogues
There Will Be Film | NL / CH / ID
How does our history continue to influence our present? With the art project The Indonesian Dialogues, makers from the Netherlands, Switzerland and Indonesia with post-colonial family histories seek answers to questions about colonialism, past and present.
In recent years, there has been growing attention to this history. Many documentaries, exhibitions, films, books and plays appear. However, most are made from a Western point of view. In The Indonesian Dialogues, the makers focus on the 'oral history' of Indonesian people. Stories you do not usually find in history books. But how do you do that, as a western collective?
The Indonesian Dialogues is the result of meetings with Indonesian experts from various fields, including historians, artists and spiritual leaders. Indonesian dramaturg Linda Mayasari curated the meetings into dialogues with people in Java, Sumatra and Bali.
The performance combines video installations, storytelling, live illustrations by Indonesian artist Eddie Hara and music by Swedish Indonesian musician Francesca Vincentie, and is part of a three-part project started by Dutch-Indonesian filmmaker Sven Peetoom and Swiss theatre maker Sebastian Gisi.
Good to know
- You are invited to move through the space, performance and video installation. It is possible to take a seat on a chair, cushions or on the floor. It is also possible to walk in and out at any time.
- On Sunday 4 August there is a combiticket for this performance with the performance Dance is not for us by Omar Rajeh/Maqamat and Binnenste Buiten by Schweigman& and Johannes Bellinckx.
"In this magical moment, everything comes together. The space is one, old and new rituals merge, and the concept of duality is parked for a moment."
