Esplanade Presents
(Intermission: None)
Esplanade Annexe Studio
The jangling of keys, repeated over and over, a reminder of a past that is starting to fade...
Created by Indonesia’s acclaimed Flying Balloons Puppet, Jalinan Kusam di Lemari Sosi – Pieces of reminiscence tells the story of an old woman living in her own mind and memory. As she searches for her keys, she unearths scattered memories and dreams buried in drawers, recognising the social constructs that have shaped her into who she is today. What would she have changed, if she could? How she was raised, the work she did, her life partner—what of the social pressures that lead her to make those choices?
Jalinan Kusam di Lemari Sosi – Pieces of reminiscence represents the absurd reality of social and cultural pressures, touching on the very real challenges and expectations faced by women today. Having first premiered at the international puppet theatre festival Pesta Boneka in Yogyakarta and later developed and restaged at Helateater 2023 in Jakarta, Jalinan Kusam di Lemari Sosi – Pieces of reminiscence uses intricate puppetry made from rattan, used wood, fabric and thread, manipulating both objects and actors to tell an honest and intimate story.
Floor seating only.
This is a non-verbal performance.
