Forgot to Remember - Remember to Forget
Performance for Dance and Loudspeaker Orchestra
Evelyn Saylor (music) | Ruben Reniers / rubarb dance & art (choreography | dance) | 20 mins
In today's over-commodified world, we are given license to focus on ourselves exclusively, without obligation to the greater collective. We are offered the platforms to do so - ones which originated from our desire for connection, but morphed into means of self-marketing. Even the text you are reading is a disguised advertisement. What happens when you have inadvertently turned your personhood into a product? When your attempt at self-realization has made you your own shareholder, and invested you into a social credit system? How does the ability to curate one's own narrative effect individual memory? In the age of the emancipated individual, where do collective memory and responsibility live? When you are your own ruler, are you actually free?

SINTA x DAHANA
after the success of their groundbreaking dance productions (AWAL and REQUIEM | MANGONGKAL HOLI), choreographer-dancer Ruben Reniers reunites with composer-performer Bilawa Ade Respati for a bold new creation, inspired by Sinta’s Trial by Fire from the Ramayana.
Fire is both a force of destruction and purification. As a storyteller, fire speaks of its deep connection to humanity through rituals, reflecting human emotions—passion, vigor, humor, and joy. In times when “darkness” predominates, fire has been a source of truth. Nowadays, in a "brighter" world, the extraction of energy translates to "power," whether in a capital, scientific, or political sense. This "power" challenges traditional notions of "truth." In such a world, can fire still reveal the “truth”? How do we measure the weight of our actions in a world beyond the gods and noble teachers?
SINTA x DAHANA ignites a dialogue that transcends boundaries between tradition and modernity, as well as between movement and sound. A visual experience that burns bright.
