Sinossi Synopsis
This is a gamelan musical story that based on the famous Ramayana, and in particular the episode of Abduction of Sinta. A story about a love triangle between the three dancers, Ludiro, Siti and Setio. Setio and Siti is a spouse that live in an exile situation with the bankrupt of their earthenware business. In that hard condition came Ludiro, the rich and powerful traders in the village, offers his love and with domination tries to win Siti’s heart. These love triangles creates not only civil wars but also mean killings and slaughtering fields, which reflected the conflict and extremities that happens these days. A requiem for all forms of violence throughout the world.

 

Commento del regista Director’s notes
This is my ninth movie. The 14 days shooting for the musical film with gamelan was stressful work, as were the three months preparation needed to create more than 40 new choreographies with 60 leading dance artists, which first required the composition of over 70 new works for gamelan within a short space of time. It is interesting to note that this film was supported by the number one composer of karawitan music in Indonesia (Rahayu Supanggah) whose most recent work was a theatre collaboration with Robert Wilson entitled I La Galigo, and also a number of well known dancers who have performed with Peter Sellars and Peter Brookes, and Indonesian installation artists whose works have been exhibited at the Bianalle in Italy. 
Since I was a child I saw the slaughtering fields, I saw bodies being burnt, hanged and blood on the street. Strong people become extreme and the week also became extreme because there is no space for sharing, what occurs is a war between two extreme that borne the slaughtering fields. When I started becoming a filmmaker that travel from island to island, I became a witness from many conflict that lives such as domino, move from one place to another. Specially in the 90th , when democracy is speeched over the world, many issues conflict of religion, ethnic, racism and terrorist lives among Indonesia that have more than 500 tribes, 13.000 island and more than 200.000.000 populations.
