Brief Duration, Crop Details

Nothing is ever easy in the performing arts in Indonesia. In fact, on the one hand, this country is a locus that would never really drought 'raw materials' - the result of relentless fusion traditions of world culture.

However, the difficulty in developing the field, commendable works have appeared: "Tales from Dirah" (Sardono W. Kusumo), "The Iron Bed" (Garin Nugroho), and, latest, "matah Ati" (Atilah Soeryadjaya), to name a few.

All three works were based on stories that have long circulated. Sardono legend plucks Dirah widow from the village as a model; Garin, turned to the epic Ramayana, while borrowing the biography Atilah Raden Mas Said and his girlfriend, Rubaiyah. So, after three predecessors, the emergence of filmmakers Mirwan Suwarso with "newborn Tetuko," worth the wait with a full pound.

"Newborn Tetuko" will try to stage The Hall, Senayan City, 8th Floor, Jakarta, on Friday and Saturday (May 27 to 28) at 20:00 pm. The show promises the integration of puppets, shadow puppets, and films. Site selection
staging 'puppet' unusual confirms the director's desire to introduce the puppet on the younger generation.

As is evident in the title of the staging, the work of adapting the production Sarawasti archipelago's birth story of a young star the Pandavas, Ghatotkacha. Superman had a Java version of tiny newborn Tetuka name. He is the son of Bhima who married descendants of ogre, Hidimbi. However, the local version of the giant we know as Arimbi, supposedly a direct descendant of King Pringgadani.

A year after the birth, the umbilical cord Ghatotkacha not escape from his belly any weapon that is used for cutting. Concerned, the younger brother named Bhima Arjuna went imprisoned gods sake get a clue, though at the same time Karna, looked like Arjuna, also in tapa pleaded weapons.

God Narada confers Konta deadly to Karna, Arjuna instead. Conscious, he told the particulars that error to Arjuna. Satria Krishna's favorite pursuit of Karna. They then engage the fight. In a struggle, Karna and Arjuna took a gun holster, which it can be used to eliminate the umbilical cord Ghatotkacha.

On his journey, will be the hero Pandava Ghatotkacha although later life Konta stopped by gun owners.

Staring into the story, who would not agree that the raw material is very worth-stage performances. Selection of the focus of storytelling, I believe, will enrich the value of the show at the same time invites the audience to explore the possibilities and new experiences. For, if many phases of life Ghatotkacha described, the staging will stretch up to 2-3 hours, just like a puppet of "conventional."

Pemejalan duration to one hour-with a complete storyline-led performance space trapped in the rush. The result is quite obvious. The actors, many of them workers Bharata Wayang person, often out of breath control the tempo. In that situation, it is difficult to recognize small movements of the treasury Puppet People, who could amaze the audience.

Deane Ogden, an American composer, arranger "newborn Tetuko", putting his team on one side of the stage and fill the room, a little too narrow for such a show, with music-direct. Fiddle tunes at the opening reminiscent of the musical movie "Transformers" composed by Steve Jablonsky. Power 'Gebrak' music swallowing stage, which had previously been taken by the movement of 'colossal' players.

Beyond that, what is set forth above is just a report from the exercise room. Because, in actual performances tonight, seriousness of the viewer "newborn Tetuko" probably will be more complete.
