Towards the chaotic beauty of Asian meta-representation

Opening up paths and reaching out into chaos, over there, a promising summit of aesthetics sublimes have opening arms. To be embraced, by dimensions, devoid of the classical sense of physics, devoid of the sense of justice in Old Testament, whereas logical causation and genocides (cultural obliteration is ultimate driving force) rebounding between the dialectic phases of contradictions, aggressions, hatred, apocalyptical vindictiveness; however, on the contrary to those, it enters into certain sense of quantum dynamics of which there are autonomously interacting within complimentary worlds of spontaneity, of uncalculated acts.

Quantum leap, the experiment of this collaboration project is aimed to bring out the compelling emotion from the younger generation of Asian theatre devotees into simulacrum of quantum worlds like fortuitous creativity. Leaping into new thresholds of break- through, as we wish, be it attainable.

This inviting chaos is not fusion of conventional artistic maneuvering, but it is de-familiarized inter-cultural signs which transposing across the boundaries of socio-culturally codes set in the languages of theatrical expression from various countries. We intend to re-adopt codes from one another socio-cultural backgrounds, and flashing out the crudeness meta-languages of theatre as sheer proxemics display.

Krio theatre of Sierra Leone, West Africa is a source of inspiration. They practice multi- (con) textual shifting for audiences of several linguistic ethnic groups in a single piece of performance. Asia meets Asia festival was honored to have Theatre Mandiri of Indonesia presented in November 2001. Putu Wijaya, the group leader, inspired us with his maneuvering the swing between the illusionary worlds and emotional impacts of human lives. Historically, there was a genre called “Images theatre” practiced by Richard Foreman in mid-seventies of last century. Rather to be differentiating from globalization of avant-gardism, Putu Wijaya elevated traditional wayang into contemporary theatre, but rooted into Asian ways of practice. We want to avail this opportunity to carry further on, from these inspirations.
