akartan Bathara Saverigadi turned his repertoire into a short movie comparable to film noir style, featuring his solitude, the unbeknown future and the many roles society expects him to bear.
Titled 23th (23 years old), the performance, which lasts less than 2 minutes, is a clever mix of dance choreography, music and cinematography.
The combination of gamelan and piano composed by Bagaskoro Putro provide the segue between acts and the camera work by Chikal Mutiara gives dramatic effect to each dance movement.
The dance was among dozens compiled for the 1’59 Project Indonesia, which opened the Indonesian Dance Festival (IDF) 2020 on Nov. 7.
Led by Korean contemporary dance maestro Ahn Eun-me as artistic director, the project – whose name refers to the acceptable length in this video-sharing time – involves 50 Indonesian dance enthusiasts from different walks of life and ages who have gone through online workshops.
The project also involved French dancer Clint Lutes as artistic and project coordinator and Indonesian Siko Setyanto as a production assistant.
