Miroto Dance at Erasmus Huis

Miroto Dance at Erasmus Huis

JAKARTA (JP): The Dutch cultural center, the Erasmus Huis,
will host on Friday evening two performances.

The program will begin with the Javanese Miroto Dance
Company's composition called "Merge", which will combine music,
poetry, dance, shadow and light.

Composers Paul Goodman and Jos Janssen created the text and
music, which found its inspiration in Javanese gamelan music, and
modern electronic and computer sources.

The composition is enhanced by a dance choreography from the
Indonesian dancer and choreographer Martinus Miroto, while the
German light artist Constantin Jaxy has created a kinetic shadow
show to make the program more exciting.

At the end of the program, Dutch Ambassador van Heemstra will
officially inaugurate a sculpture called "The Great Tingling
Machine", built at the Erasmus Huis compound, in commemoration of
Jakarta's anniversary.
