3rd Monolog Festival at CCF Bandung

Four young Bandung artists are highlighting the 3rd Monolog Festival being held in the auditorium of the French Cultural Center (CCF) building on Jl. Purnawarman 32 every Friday at 7.30 p.m. for four consecutive weeks from Sept. 9 to Sept. 30.

The festival opened with Masmirah, a monolog by Arthur S. Nalan, performed by Mami Sri Maryani. A week later, Ima Rochmawati is due to perform a monolog by Iman titled Hilang (Lost).

Next will be the turn of Bandung short-story writer and dramatist, Mona Sylvina, who will perform a monolog titled Ode for a KTP (Ode for an ID card) by Martin Aleida.

In the last week of the festival, Linda Yanti will perform Anjing Kudisan (A Dog with Scabies), which is written by noted literary critic residing in Bandung, Jacob Sumardjo.

CCF Bandung is featuring female performers in this festival in response to their wish to appear in an event together. Tickets are Rp 5,000 for a single performance or Rp 15,000 for all four performances.

The French Cultural Center plans to organize a monolog festival every September because on the past two occasions the auditorium was filled to overflowing. --JP
