What happened TIM?
What happened TIM?
From Warta Kota
The Ismail Marzuki Arts Center (TIM) seems to have been
forgotten now. While in the past this arts center was always
associated with quality performances from the regions and other
countries, today it is only a place where people have their
lunch, make love in their cars or see a movie. Of course, the
Jakarta Arts Council still organizes some arts events there but
they are usually low in quality and attract only a small
audience.
Take, for example, what happened on the 36th anniversary of
the center on Nov. 6. The performance that night was of poor
quality and Ismail Marzuki's family members were not even
invited. Jakarta Governor Sutiyoso left when the performance was
only half-finished. So, wherefore TIM?
