'Journal of Dusk' - A Contemporary Shadow Play by Jumaadi 16 - 17 OCTOBER 2015

28/8/2015

Journal of Dusk is a new performance by Indonesian-Australian artist Jumaadi which has been commissioned especially for 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art. Featuring a series of new shadow puppets created by the artist and accompanied by musical performances, Journal of Dusk draws on a form of traditional Indonesian theatre called wayang kulit to weave poetic narratives based on historical connections between Australia and South-East Asia.

Journal of Dusk continues Jumaadi’s interest in the history of migration and exchange between Australia and Indonesia during the twentieth century through a creative reinterpretation of the story of the construction of Australia’s first gamelan, an Indonesian percussion instrument. Beginning with depictions of agrarian life from Indonesia, Journal of Dusk presents a montage of imagery from Australia and Indonesia including animals and plants, through to more abstract scenes of landscapes and places.

For more information visit the 4A Centre for Contemporary Asian Art website at: http://www.4a.com.au/journal-of-dusk/

In addition to the three performances, Jumaadi will be leading a workshop for younger audiences (recommended age 7-12)*. Children will join Jumaadi in the making of shadow puppets, story writing and the actual performance of shadow puppetry. They will leave with a shadow puppet of their own creation.

Bookings are essential and can be made at http://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/journal-of-dusk-a-contemporary-shadow-play-by-jumaadi-tickets-17874984560
