From Indonesia, the Stage Bus takes the
Peloponnese by storm
For three weeks, a happy
and exotic group of artists from faraway Indonesia
will be touring the region of Peloponnese, in
southern mainland Greece. The "invaders"
come in peace on a mobile theater on wheels and
promise to make heads turn. From august 25 to
September 8, the "Stage Bus" will be
visiting towns and cities in the region's seven
districts giving performances of music, dances,
shadow theatre and video projections. The colorful
invasion concludes in the Athenian municipalities
with last stop at Peristeri, on September 11. The
Stage Bus tour is presented by the embassy of
Indonesia in Athens and the Hellenic Culture
Organization SA.
A specially designed
multifunctional bus bearing all the necessary
equipment (shadow theater stage, video projevtors,
a grand piano, drum sets, etc.) carries the twenty
Indonesian artists to places like:
- Nafplion (Kapodistria Sq.), Aug. 25, at 9pm

- Halandri, Athens (Central Sq.), Sep. 10, at 9pm

In each stop, the group presents a program "a
la carte" (exact location and content of the
spectacle may differ from place to place).
Music, singing, dancing, Indonesian traditional
shadow theatre, video projections, all in one show
presented on the mobile stage of the Stage Bus of
the JakArt
cultural organization, with the support of the
Indonesian National Committee for the Cultural
Olympiad, and under the aegis of the Indonesian
Ministry of Tourism and Culture and Greece's
Cultural Olympiad. The project also enjoys the
support of the embassies of Indonesia in Athens
and of Greece in Jakarta.
This unique trip to culture that is being realized
in the true spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic
Games of Athens 2004, aims to encourage the
cross-cultural understanding between different
nations.
The Stage Bus was built in the Netherlands in
1994, designed by installation artist Aart Marcus
and his Helsdingen Trio. Since then it travels and
performs in Europe, USA, Australia and Indonesia,
which finances the project.
It is a 12-meter long vehicle with the stage
folding out from its one side and with its own
sound equipment, including a grand piano and
lighting, etc.
