Note Padang Size Theatre Performances


--> Being a Man in the Garden
By Nasrul Azwar
In a park somewhere. Galibnya a park, he was present as a public space. Social space, space may also be antisocial. Shade trees and flowers are also present in the order and frozen. Fixed benches in the corners of the park. Sometimes the park was very quiet, even vice versa. People stopped to take off all that feels and go: meet and split up. Park is "home" for people who are tired and happy space for pets. Park landscaper also beautiful but melancholy menghidar impossible from him.
An old man who dragged her into the old empty park. Dusk was falling. Up there, marked with dark rain clouds, visible. Bersahutan of distant thunder. Parents (Noer Muslims) continue around the park is quiet. Not long ago a middle-aged man (el Fauzul Nurca)-seem to have pride in the step-way to the park. For a moment they were preoccupied with thoughts of each.
"No, no! The elder must know yourself, and willing to budge. This dry season. "
"No, no! The younger ones must know to respect elders. It's the rainy season. "
The second dialogue fragment of Parents and the middle-aged man opened the debate about the "position" of man, and also the absurdity of this "season". Factually, it seems the rain will come down but in the view of being and not being (Korrie Layun Rampan, Ed-1985), quite the opposite. The debate about next season, opened the story of human beings who never finished. There was bitterness and tragic in it. That time, the Balloon Seller (Syafar Alamsyah) came with his past sentimentality. Confluence of three "lives" with the life and different experiences rather than presenting an argument that "solusif", actually exacerbate the position and their existence. Balloons Balloons sold the Penjula-which was something common in the gardens of people selling balloons, even so "something" that sliced childhood memories are not pleasant for Parents. A balloon for Parents but not a favorite memory.
Clod of garden, in the evening, exposing a vain man. Woman with baby carriage (the relationship Women (Esthi Bayu) with some Who) adds a row of human beings who have a dark side, gloomy, and gloomy. Complete. That evening, a small garden filled with the sounds that came out of an old soul, sad, obsessive, full of failures, passions, and also contemptible. Humans are excluded.
So stories about people losing gathered in a park to flow for two nights at the Cultural Park Theatre Closed West Sumatra, 24-25 November 2006. Theatre Group Size Padang Twilight in the Park raised script works Iwan Simatupang (just before sunrise so a book called the Garden, published in 1958 after exchanging the title of Evening in the Park. He died at the age of 42 years, age is still productive as a writer on August 4, 1970 in Jakarta ) with director Ismail Zamzami, and with reason to be more familiar, Size replacing it with the Twilight in the Park.
Twilight in the Garden show takes time 75 minutes. Forms of cultivation and exploration impressive onstage audience expectations. At least in the aspect of communication. But, from a few elements and artistic achievement dimaui from a script full of ideas, ideas, and thoughts of philosophy of existentialism, the presence of Twilight in the Garden was not maximal.
Selecting a script from the writers, like Iwan Simatupang paradigm embracing postmodernism and international civil society, is not without risk. Because, in the view of Iwan Simatupang, diseases such as etatisme culture, liberalism, and individualism can be resolved or cured through the help of outsiders (including writers - author) proportionately, systematic, and universal. From it all, almost all the works of Iwan Simatupang, including a script that worked on this Padang Size Theatre, laden with the notion of resistance to the systems that eliminate human presence. Four human figures are arguing about the ego and existence themselves in a garden is a portrait of "resistance", although the end seemed unable to do much. At least, for they are prohibited from picking flowers. A park, with various rules that have been stifling made themselves into various directions.
I Dreamed A DreamIn general, the work of the performing arts theater should be interpreted as a union of things that are universal and specific. And, thus, the theater can not be enjoyed if not accompanied with a value of unity / Unitas. In the work of symbolic theater, the unity of the universal values to specific (local) can be accepted as a fact without any other consideration, while the value of unity on the work surealisime / Unitas always presented by the existence of things that are not direct. The definitions in fact not yet finished. Still plenty of room to debate. But I am currently not interested parse length about the flow and the ideology of various theater groups in West Sumatra.
Composition space Dusk gig at the Park takes the stage in full. There are three levels on stage, and a pile of garden tools at the right side of the cleaning stage. Actor to the stage through the four corners, ballooning-left of the stage, used as the entrance of each actor. That is, the park can be entered from any direction. In the middle of the stage, standing bare wood memokus. Watered occasionally leaves the room. Funny thing is, the leaves fall times of dialogue actors on stage. Dialogue stops, the leaves did not fall. Not natural. Aesthetically, feel less beautiful.
In a theatrical performance, behavior (acting), which was brought on stage actors choose their own size. Usually, the behavior is not only what is done or said by an actor, but he will propagate the sounds of music, noise, sound waves on stage, and changes in space and time dilakoni. Also, he will enter the space character, conflict, plot, and an important element, namely a climax.
Twilight in the Park had the key dialogue, which for me the core of all problems of the story, ie the spoken sentence Baya Half Men, "it is forbidden to pick flowers." For others, this sentence was mediocre, but for the four figures with the problems of social existence they, in fact an insult to the existence of their self-esteem. The sentence was very abusive ban them as a human ego. The position of the phrase becomes important when he read in its entirety. But, unfortunately, Size Theatre achievements on stage when the sentence was pronounced skid with a flat and nonekspresi. In fact, if the figures Half Men Parents and Baya able to keep the tempo and timing, that sentence would sound pretty terrible. Space and time will be dragged back to reach the climax of the story.
Figures present the work of Iwan Simatupang, whether novels, short stories, poetry and drama as well, human beings are marginal, bizarre in social life, not the hero-filled frenetic and noisy rhetoric happy, and live a quiet DaLA but optimistic. In the drama Twilight in the Garden of lyric poetry, the characters seemed to say to himself (monologue), philosophizing, and end communication with others, or the environment. But, here's where the work of Iwan uniqueness, which differentiates the works of his predecessors (K. Usman, Sinar Harapan, January 18, 2003).
From it all, bring to the stage works of Iwan Simatupang not a no consequence. At a minimum, the consequences that must be monitored is the background of thought and view of its author. This side of it must be sharpened by Theatre Size Padang. What was intended by the script Twilight in the Garden, not merely concerned that the manuscript was ideal to play in the tangled condition of this nation. But, how Iwan Simatupang in each of his works kept the issue and projecting on the situation of the Indonesian arts in the future, although the drama Twilight in the Park was born 58 years ago, but the text and reference text full of thoughts and views about human society itself. That is probably why almost all the works of Iwan Simatupang his characters are not given "name" unless "as".
NOW That's What I Call Music! 30What Size Padang Theatre presented that evening was to offer the other side of the spirit berteater in West Sumatra, after nearly a decade Size "contemplate", but still remain capable of "bewitching" theater lovers in this area. In Padang Size Theatre travel records, the group was founded March 19, 1988. Twilight in the Park is the eighth production. Previously they raised the flag of the Seller (works Wisran Hadi), Malin Kundang (Wisran Hadi), Proposal (Anton Chekov), Marriage (Anton Chekov), Mark Cross (Eugene O 'Neil), Salonsong (Wisran Hadi), and Coach (Ionesco ). ***
