“WAR FOR LOVE ” ~ is a powerful surreal concept that portrays the universal and timeless struggle for love through striking symbolism and evocative imagery. The desert serves as a metaphor for the harsh, challenging journey of love, while the red umbrellas symbolize passion, protection, and the fragile sanctuary that love offers amidst adversity. The cloaked figures, faceless and anonymous, reflect the shared and collective human experience of love’s trials, highlighting its unifying and transcendent nature. The atmosphere, filled with a sense of mystery and introspection, invites viewers to reflect on their personal journeys and sacrifices in the pursuit of love. “War for Love” is a poignant exploration of love’s complexities—its beauty, its challenges, and its enduring power to shelter and transform.

~ The Javanese phrase “Sangkan paraning dumadi” . The origin and the purpose of existence. This phrase encapsulates a deep philosophical concept which considers the beginning of existence (the origin) and its ultimate goal or purpose (the purpose). In Javanese culture and philosophy, this concept is often reflective of a spiritual or existential inquiry into why something exists and what its final goal or destiny is meant to be. It is a way to understand life and existence from a broad perspective, questioning not just how things are but why they are and to what end they strive. “Sangkan” refers to the origin or source, “paran” means the destination or purpose, and “dumadi” refers to existence or being. Together, this phrase encourages a contemplative look at life’s journey from beginning to end, emphasizing a cycle or a path that returns to its starting point or transcends to a higher state.

Organized by MRW Communication and Organ Budaya Indonesia
at Setia Darma House of Masks and Puppets
Background
Distributing tree seedlings to the audience is a conceptual starting point for
artworks and workshops held by internationally acclaimed Indonesian theater directors, new media artists and musicians. We offer new directions in environmental artwork as part of a vision of an “Organic Mind.” The concept “organic mind” suggests a mind free from artificial constraints such as desires based on consumerism. We seek to implant youth with the importance of environmentalism and new skills in media, instrument building, and horticulture, as well as ideas about how to create artworks that are environmentally sound, such as found-object sculptures. We nurture children’s innate talents that develop instinctually and in response to nature. Read More
