OPAL VAPOUR

TO BOOK VISIT TRYBOOKING.COM

Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal
in collaboration with Paula van Beek & Ria Soemardjo

Presented by Vitalstatistix & Mobile States

Against a shimmering terrain of shadow and sand, a contemporary ritual inspired by ancient Java is danced and sung of mountains, bones and ghostly rivers.

Created across two countries, Australia and Indonesia, Opal Vapour explores ceremony, rites of passage and a deep sense of belonging to a place of birth. This powerful performance integrates contemporary choreography, Javanese Wayang Kulit shadow puppetry, and mesmerising live voice and projection.

Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal moves fluidly between powerful physical states that balance graceful Javanese classical traditions with adventurous contemporary dance.  Her sinuous transformation is held by Ria Soemardjo’s pure voice and evocative score. Performed in the moment, both artists are transported through time by Paula van Beek’s sublime lighting landscapes and shadow play.
