Continue with performance Parade in Yogyakarta
I've been invited to continue the realisation of the performance Parade with street vendors at Kebun Buku in Yogyakarta from early December 2022 till early January 2023. By then it will have been three years since my last visit to Yogyakarta. In Amsterdam I recently realised a musical composition with the specific sounds of vendors who go around neighborhoods (pedagang keliling) in collaboration with composer Sinta Wullur. The aim in Yogyakarta is to rehearse with the vendors and prepare the parade with local producer Fitri Kristiyoarti and a film crew led by Kurnia Yudha.
