TO PARON

30 / 8 / 2004

If a bus with a sun-roof carrying dancers from Bali, actors from Java, shadow theatre players from Jakarta passes from Nafplion and Argos, don’t feel puzzled… The Organisation for the Promotion of Greek Culture and the Embassy of the Indonesian Republic in Greece present the “Stage Bus” and bring the colours and melodies of Indonesia to Greece! The bus tour will visit many municipalities in the Peloponese, performing songs, dance, shadow theatre and doing video projections. The troupe is made of 20 Indonesian artists and the “Stage Bus”. It is an offering from the Indonesian government to the programme of the Cultural Olympiad, as its swift response to the Greek government’s invitation. According to information, the president of OPEP Mr Stamatis Mavros, is thinking of sending a team of Greek artists to Indonesia and is having discussions about it with the ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia in Greece, Mrs. Faishah Soeftendi.
