  • Phd Thesis Tamara Aberle
    Socially-engaged theatre performances in contemporary Indonesia Tamara Alexandra Aberle Royal Holloway, University of London PhD Thesis 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Tamara Alexandra Aberle, hereby declare that this thesis and the work presented in it is entirely my own. Where I have consulted the work of others, this is always clearly stated. Signed: ______________________ Date: ________________________ 2 Abstract This thesis argues that performances of contemporary theatre in Indonesia are socially- engaged, actively creating, defining and challenging the socio-political environment, and that theatre practitioners are important members of a vibrant civil society who contribute and feel actively committed to democratic processes. Following an initial chapter about the history of modern theatre from the late 19th century until the fall of President Suharto in 1998, the four core chapters centre on four different aspects of contemporary Indonesian socio-politics: historical memory and trauma, violence and human rights, environmentalism, and social transition. Each of these chapters is preceded by an introduction about the wider historical and socio-political context of its respective discourse and is followed by an analysis of selected plays. Chapter 2 focuses on historical trauma and memory, and relates the work of two theatre artists, Papermoon Puppet Theatre and Agus Nur Amal (a.k.a. PM Toh), to processes seeking truth and reconciliation in Indonesia in the post-Suharto era. Chapter 3, on violence and human rights, discusses the works of Ratna Sarumpaet and B. Verry Handayani, with a specific focus on human trafficking, sexual exploitation, and labour migration. Chapter 4 discusses environmentalism on the contemporary stage. It investigates the nature of environmental art festivals in Indonesia, taking Teater Payung Hitam’s 2008 International Water Festival as an example.

Introduction: Changing mediascapes and emerging regional metaphors Traditionally each village federation in Minangkabau had its own repertoire of musical genres, tunes, and melodies, in which local historiography and songs of origin blended and the meta-landscape of alam Minangkabau (the Minangkabau universe) was depicted.1 Today, with the ever-increasing disper- sion of Minangkabau migrants all over Southeast Asia, the conception of the Minangkabau world is no longer restricted to the province of West Sumatra. 1 Earlier versions of this article were presented at the 34th Conference of the International Council of Traditional Music, Nitra, Slovakia, August 1996, and the VA/AVMI (Leiden Uni- versity) symposium on Media Cultures in Indonesia, 2-7 April 2001. Its present form owes much to critical comments received from audiences there. I would like to sincerely thank also my colleagues Suryadi, for his suggestions regarding the translations from the Minangkabau, and Robert Wessing, for his critical scrutiny of my English.

DESCRIPTORS Anthologies; *Audience Awareness; Cultural Background; *Cultural Context; Foreign Countries; *Indonesian; Literary Devices; Non Western Civilization; *Short Stories; *Social Change; Tourism IDENTIFIERS *Bali; *Balinese Literature; Indonesia ABSTRACT This collection of 25 short stories (in Indonesian) by Balinese writers aims to give Bali's writers a wider public. Some of the stories in the collection are distinctly and uniquely Balinese, while others are more universal in their approach and are self-contained. But according to the collection's foreword, in all of the stories, experiences of Bali are presented from the inside, from the other side of the hotels, tour buses, and restaurants of "tourist" Bali. The writers presented come from a range of backgrounds, reflecting the diversity cf Balinese society--different castes, differences between urban and rural baa4xiouncl.s, .and varieties of ethnicity are all important to the multiplicity of voices found in the collection. In addition, the collection draws from backgrounds of journalism, theater, cartoons, poetry, and academia, and from writers who may have been born in other parts of Indonesia but who have lived for decades in Bali and reflect Bali's inseparability from the Indonesian nation.

  • Mapping the History of Malaysian Theatre: an Interview with Ghulam-Sarwar Yousof
    ASIATIC, VOLUME 4, NUMBER 2, DECEMBER 2010 Mapping the History of Malaysian Theatre: An Interview with Ghulam-Sarwar Yousof Madiha Ramlan & M.A. Quayum1 International Islamic University Malaysia It seems that a rich variety of traditional theatre forms existed and perhaps continues to exist in Malaysia. Could you provide some elucidation on this? If you are looking for any kind of history or tradition of theatre in Malaysia you won’t get it, because of its relative antiquity and the lack of records. Indirect sources such as hikayat literature fail to mention anything. Hikayat Raja-Raja Pasai mentions Javanese wayang kulit, and Hikayat Patani mentions various music and dance forms, most of which cannot be precisely identified, but there is no mention of theatre. The reason is clear enough. The hikayat generally focuses on events in royal court, while most traditional theatre developed as folk art, with what is known as popular theatre coming in at the end of the 19th century. There has never been any court tradition of theatre in the Malay sultanates. In approaching traditional theatre, my own way has been to first look at the proto- theatre or elementary forms before going on to the more advanced ones. This is a scheme I worked out for traditional Southeast Asian theatre. Could you elaborate on this? Almost all theatre activity in Southeast Asia fits into four categories as follows: Proto-Theatre, Puppet Theatre, Dance Theatre and Opera. In the case of the Philippines, one could identify a separate category for Christian theatre forms. Such forms don’t exist in the rest of the region.

  • Mamanda Theatre, the Play of Banjar Culture 163
    162 WacanaWacana,, Vol. 12Vol. No. 12 1 No. (April 1 (April 2010): 2010) 162—180 NINUK KLEDEN-PROBONEGORO, Mamanda theatre, the play of Banjar culture 163 Mamanda theatre, the play of Banjar culture NINUK KLEDEN–PROBONEGORO Abstract This article reveals the dialectic relationship between Teater Mamanda and the living conditions of Banjarese community. When we watch Mamanda, we watch the life and culture of the Banjarese. Without any knowledge of Banjarese society and culture we cannot possibly understand the content of a Mamanda performance as a miniature version of Banjarese society and culture. Three areas where Mamanda is performed have been studied using Paul Ricoeur’s textual theory. There are two kinds of texts, the Mamanda performance (considered as text, that is, social events fixated in the form of a performance), and the narration of the performance itself which is considered a text as well. Keywords Mamanda theatre, texts analysis. Introduction This article rests on my working assumption that there is an affinity between Banjar culture and the Mamanda, namely that Mamanda functions to perform Banjar culture. Therefore, watching and attending performances of Mamanda theatre will improve our understanding of Banjar culture. At the same time, as in Paul Ricoeur’s theory (1982), the two levels of a text - the performer as a text, and the text of the performer - becomes more readable if there is sufficient knowledge and understanding of Banjar culture which is the context where the texts have been produced. The idea about the possible role played by Mamanda for its supporting community originated in my observation of the political situation, particularly of the relation which might exist between government policies and freedom NINUK KLEDEN-PROBONEGORO is a researcher at the Center for the Study of Society and Culture of the Indonesian Institute of Sciences (Pusat Penelitian Masyarakat dan Kebudayaan, Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia, PMB-LIPI).

  • Mak Yong: the Ancient Malay Dance-Theatre
    MAK YONG: THE ANCIENT MALAY DANCE-THEATRE GHULAM-SARWAR YousoF M ak Y ong is an ancient Malay dance-theatre form incorporating the elements of ritual, stylized dance and acting, vocal and instru­ mental music, story, song, formal as well as improvised spoken text. It is principally performed in the two provinces of Patani in southern Thailand and Kelantan, Malaysia, on the east coast of the Malay peninsula. 1 To a lesser extent Mak Yong also flourishes in the Rhiau Islands of Indonesia. Two other places associated with Mak Y ong performances are Kedah on the west coast of the Malay peninsula and northern Sumatra, particularly Serdang, to which Malaysian troupes arc reputed to have once travelled and even for a duration estab­ lished Mak Yong under royal patronage::~ History Myths and legends still current in Kelantanese villages suppot1 a strong belief that Mak Yong, like many other theatre genres of the of the region, had divine origination or inspiration. The ancient Java­ nese deity, Semar and his son, Turas, are credited with being its first my1hical founders and performers. Other theories link Mak Yong with Mak Hiang, the spirit of the rice, semangat padi, identified with Dewi Sri, the Hindu-Javanese harvest goddess.3 Mak Yong is thus regarded as a celebration of nature and natural phenomena, an idea eloquently expressed in the lyrics of Lagu Menghadap Rebab, the dance with which all Mak Yong performances commence.4 Yet again, to give it an Islamic colouring, Mak Y ong is often­ times described as having derived directly from Adam (Nabi Adam), the primeval human progenitor, through a host of spirits and mythical 1 The exact status of Mak Yang in the Pat ani area is not yet clear as no research has been done in that area up to the present.
