Dream from a Pile of Trash

First collaboration project of Theatre Tetas with Phakama: loud but full of meaning.

At one time the world was already covered by piles
of trash. The society which lived in thatkind of
world is a society of clutter. Messy and disorganized,
was how that world was described.

In the midst of all chaos, a story-teller found a seed. The only
seed left on the face of the earth. It is humanity itself. The
story-teller then traveled far and wide, searching for the most
righteous place to plant that most valuable seed.

In his journey he encountered colorful characters. A writer
who tries to record daily events of his surroundings; a man
who calls himself the “professional outsider”; a poor artist;
a teacher with hidden passion of being an artist; a bus driver
who feels unappreciated; all the way to a street cleaner, who
from his profession has the chance to find may unusual
items.

This project is collaboration between Tetas and Phakama. Both
groups worked separately on the concept of human struggle to
manifest their dreams and inner desires of life; to then be put
together on stage.

“We met for the first time, two weeks prior to the show at Gedung
Kesenian. We then presented each of our interpretation
and sorted out, which part to use on stage,” said Ags. Dipayana.
The story plot was not made until that first meeting, and
the performance in Gedung Kesenian was the first show of the
collaboration between Tetas and Phakama.

Loud, was the impression that performance gave; the pandemonium
of mankind with dreams, exerting on reaching the
passion within their hearts. This show was also presented
in the British International School last 11 and 12 of January
2010. Ags. Dipayana wishes that this collaboration gives way
to other collaboration to commence.
