Erasmus Huis to present street theater

JAKARTA: The Dutch Cultural Center, Erasmus Huis, will present
a two-day street theater program performed by artists from six
member countries of the European Union, commencing next Monday.

"This event will help promote Jakarta as a safe city that is
not dangerous for foreigners," Erasmus Huis' deputy director
Peter Anthonie Hamoen told Antara here on Tuesday.

He was referring to the situation in Jakarta several weeks
ago, when radical Muslim groups threatened to expel foreigners
after the U.S.-led attack against Afghanistan.

The six countries represented in the event are the
Netherlands, Britain, Italy, Germany, France and Spain.

Street theater, which is a form of roaming and often
improvised comedy, will also be presented in Plaza Senayan,
Central Jakarta.--JP
