Tianzhuo Chen & Siko Setyanto
Tianzhuo Chen & Siko Setyanto
In their latest collaboration, visual artist and director Tianzhuo Chen, and dancer and choreographer Siko Setyanto reflect on life in Lamalera, a remote fishing village on the island of Lembata in Indonesia, where traditional fishing and whaling still plays a central role. An immersive setting created by Tianzhuo Chen, Ocean Cage that combines elements of installation, film, and dance to create the space for the performance, in which Siko Setyanto becomes the central protagonist in changing characters. Together with the Indonesian musicians Kadapat and Dinar Rizkianti (KUNAY), a visual, dance, and musical maelstrom is created in which tradition and ecology, spiritually, and technology, beliefs in progress and interspecies symbiosis are whirled together.
