ccepting each other as we are is the premise of Violet: Warna yang Berbeda (Violet: A different color), a musical by Svatuhari Theater that reflects the unique characteristics of each “color” across all layers of Indonesian society.
Inspired by the traditional textiles of East Nusa Tenggara, Violet depicts the journey of the titular character, played by Zsazsa Utari, to accept her own “color” that has made her different from others since she was born. The musical’s message of diversity and universal acceptance embodies the national motto, Bhineka Tunggal Ika (Unity in Diversity).
The theatrical troupe’s producer Joseph Moris and director Rinaldy Zulkarnain are also encouraging more female artists to embrace and spread the message of Bhineka Tunggal Ika through their work, not just for themselves and the Indonesian people, but also for the nation’s art and culture.
As a preview for the musical spectacle, which runs from Jan. 28 to 29 at Ciputra Artpreneur Theater in Kuningan, South Jakarta, Svatuhari Theater released on Jan.19 a video clip of Zsazsa Utari in her role as Violet on its official YouTube channel, Svatuhari (@svatuhari).
