A
traveling show unites people
Indonesian
artists form the group ‘Stage Bus’ which is currently visiting our
country in the framework of the inter-cultural exchange of people’s art.
The group will travel around the towns of the Peloponese. Tonight they are
performing in Argos and tomorrow in the municipality of Lerna.
More
specifically, this moving theatre (which belongs to the JakArt cultural
organization, supported by the Indonesian government) is attached to the
specially transformed, multi-purpose bus (The Stage Bus) which has the
necessary equipment, such as a screen for shadow theatre, video
projectors, a grand piano, a drum set, etc. The programme of the tour includes singing,
dancing, music and their own traditional shadow theatre in every
town-stop. The space and the programme of each event may be altered
according to the needs (programme a-la-carte).
The
purpose of this initiative, for another cultural trip into the
Civilization and the Spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games of Athens
2004, is the deeper understanding among nations and cultures as it is
viewed through the variety and diversity of Indonesian culture and
civilization as well as in the multicultural, multinational meeting of
arts and forms of expression.
