The Art of Dayak Dance

The renowned choreographer Dedy Lutan recently presented his latest work, Hutan Pasir Sunyi, or The Silent Sand Forest, at Galeri Indonesia Kaya in the Grand Indonesia shopping center in Central Jakarta. 

The performance opened with a woman lit by a spotlight, emerging from the darkness. Then, two men in loincloths — one older and thoughtful, one younger and unbridled — entered the venue while a young girl, resplendent in a traditional Dayak costume of beaded sapei inoq shirt and ta skirt, danced solemnly and precisely across the stage.

A group of stone-faced men, apparently elders, entered and took their seats up front as the action unfolded below. More women clad in similar costumes came on stage, all holding elaborate feather arrangements in their hands as they danced.

Soon, a group of outsiders, all women, bearing machetes and clad in what looked to be simple leather costumes, stood up from their seats in the audience and went to challenge the feathered dancers.

As the young man ran up the stairs of the amphitheater, whooping amid the adults and many children in the crowd, the women waged a stylized battle that culminated with the woman in silhouette staring down the outsiders, who turned their machetes on themselves.

The troupe — elders and warriors alike — then began orbiting the younger man, sweat streaming down his face, before conflict turned to stasis and the performance ended.

Dedy, the nation’s foremost choreographer, has spent decades visiting Dayak communities in the remote forests of Kalimantan, meeting dance maestros, learning their rituals and then staging their dances in Jakarta — after performing his interpretation for the local community, of course.

He says that dances such as Hutan Pasir Sunyi are not examples of art for the sake of art: they have ritual importance as well as beauty.

“Creating a dance needs lengthy and solitary contemplation,” Dedy said. “It’s never been an instant and quick process.”

Galeri Indonesia Kaya, which offers free exhibits about Indonesian culture, lies just opposite the Blitz megaplex — an odd juxtaposition of storytelling venues.
The gallery’s 150-seat amphitheater, however, makes for a surprisingly intimate performance space.

Adventure Trip to Biawak Island

The long and tiring journey across the Java Sea finally ended after a four-hour journey. Our destination was the Biawak Island that is part of Indramayu Regency, West Java. 

It is about 40 kilometers away from northern coast of Indramayu. The distance was not that far, but since we used low-strength machine boat, it took very long to reach it. 

Some people call the Biawak Island as Menyamak Island or Byompis Island. The island gets its name after the reptiles called biawak (giant lizards) inhabiting the island.

The weather was friendly for our three-day vacations. We soon found out that in addition to the biawak, a man named Subur Sudirman is also inhabiting the 120-hectare island. 

Subur has been living in the island since April 2014 and he is well-known among the fishermen who often harbored on this island, as he is the guard for the lighthouse.

Before settling down on April, Subur had previously tasked in the island several times. He started to get to know the Varanus salvator reptile in 1993. He was tasked to the island again in 2011. 

He was never stayed more than a year in the island. However, seems like this year is going to be different. Approaching his retiring day, he seems to planning on staying longer with the reptiles.

Subur even inherited the job as lighthouse guard from his father. Becoming the keeper of the lighthouse is not a job without sacrifice. 

During his duty, Subur can only meet his family in Tangerang once in three months. However, Subur is getting used to the lonely life in the secluded island. He is not really alone though, there are dozens of giant lizards that have been tamed.

The lizards are often seen roaming freely around the island gate to the housings of Transportation Ministry. When we arrived around 13:00, none of the reptiles were seen. But they did greet us when the day turned into dark.

The giant reptiles crawl slowly and there were not much teeth seen.

“But they can took us down with the whip of their tail,” Subur explained.
The reptiles have weak eye sight and relying on their sharp olfactory system. A fisherman was once got bitten after handling the fishes on his boat.

Since the island get visited by tourists more often, the lizards started to ejoy human foods too. They chew on leftovers left by tourists. The lizards that occupy the area behind the lighthouse have different behavior. They are wilder and would runaway on approach with human.

One of the attractions in the island is the tomb of Syekh Syarif Khasan, or Bompies as the Dutch called it.

“There was a group of people visited the tomb for pilgrimage, some others looking for fortune charms,” said Subur.

Around 500 meters on the right of the lighthouse, there are two others places considered as sacred. Namely an old well and a tomb of an unknown Dutchman. Legend says, according to Subur, that anyone who see the water inside the well as orange to red will be fortunate. However, when we looked into the well, the water was just of turbid color.

We were then challenged to hike up to the lighthouse. We could see from the placard that this building is dated back to 1872. It means that the steels are 142 years old, since Subur said that it has never been renovated. It is obvious from the rusts that decorated the outer wall.

To go up to the top, extra physical and mental condition were truly required. Why? Because every one step on the stair would created creaking sound. The stair was of 50-cm spiral-shaped. Looking down the stairs would definitely make you tremble. However, the sweats, heart beating, and shuddering were paid off once we reached the top.

From here, we felt like we are the conqueror of the island. On the left wing facing the harbor, we can see green trees from where hundreds of grouse flew away in rows. On the right, beach pines dominated the scenes. We can also see the harbor with few fishermen boats docked in.

When the sun started to sink, we know it was the time to come down, as there is no lighting along the stairs.

Cycling Around Bali

Paddy fields, villages and temples are combination that makes cycling trip in Bali increasingly popular especially among foreign tourists. 

Pedaling along the heart of Bali Island from north to south, between Kintamani, Bangli and Gianyar across the roads linking the regions. 

All offer almost the same scent, paddy fields and villages typical to the Island of God. Some time ago, Tempo tried one biking track that was initiated by Bali Bike Baik, a tour operator based in Ubud. 

On Sunday morning late last month, nine of us were transported by car to a coffee farm in Susut , a region between Bangli and Kintamani. Gede, our guide, took us in a coffee-processing trip prior the biking kicked start introduced coffee plants.

In the farm, Gede also introduced us to luwak, an animal that produce expensive coffee seeds from their wastes. Some Australian tourists expressed their amazement on how the coffee seeds are processed by enzymes inside the luwak digestive system.

In the end of the trip, we were served with variety of coffee including luwak coffee, ginseng coffee, ginger coffee, and also coconut milk coffee. All of the coffees were of excellent tastes that the small cups drained without traces.

After a quick stop at Kintamani to enjoy Mt. Batur view, we headed to the start point in Suluhan village, Bangli. Our journey begun in an open field where the crew had prepared tens of mountain bikes that we can pick up as we wished. Since nnot all of the participants were skilled cyclists, Gede gave a brief introduction on the fields that stretched before us.

We started to kick our pedal after a small warm up into the sloping down road. The smooth asphalt road make our bikes spur fast between farmlands and hamlets. 

The cloud that covered the sky that day protected us from the stinging sun light. The first fifteen minutes took us into settlements area. We stopped at a temple where children had swarmed around to greet us.

Gede quickly explained about the temple, its architecture, symbols that decorated the building, and even about how people are praying in the temple.

Then the journey was resumed. Out of the settlements, we entered massive paddy fields that stretched along the smooth roads. In some spots, the rice fields were terraced which is Bali’s classic view favored by most foreign tourists.

The guide invited us to have a break to observe the farmers harvesting the rice field. We could even try to participate in the activity. After a good photo session, we went back to the road that offers same typical view: houses and temples.

The route that we took strected across five villages, namely Suluhan, Susut, Abuan and Apuan, and ended in the skirt of Gianyar. It was relatively convenient cycling track since there was only one uphill road -- which is around 500-meter long-- in Abuan Village. The total distance that we have traveled was aroound 20 kilometers in two-hour duration.

In the finish line, we were picked up by car and taken into Bali Bike Baik base for lunch. In the 80-meter hall, I enjoyed my lunch together with around 30 other tourists.

Wayan Sudjana, the owner of Bali Bike Baik said that foreigners favor the cycling trip since it can bring them closer to Bali’s rural life.

The Mystical Mount Agung

When the sun first came up, it was just a glimpse of orange color on the east. It slowly cracked up and it’s light coloring the gray morning mist in the height of Karangasem, Bali. 

Watching the giant ball moving up from between leaves brought a particular mystical sensation. The sun arose as if it was to wake the sleepy peak of Mount Agung.
 
I enjoyed the romantics of the sun-rise view from Mahagiri, a resort and restaurant located in Rendang Village, Karangasem Regency, Bali. Even the name of the resort was tempting: Mahagiri Panoramic Resort and Restaurant.

It was located two hours drive away from Denpasar. Approximately two kilometers from Denpasar-Pura Besakih highway, through Semarapura, Klungkung.

Once I entered the resort I saw a view that was so typically Bali. The carpet of paddy field covered the lower land with Mt Agung stood as the background. 

Mahagiri was built on the hill and the paddy field around it located on a valley surrounded by hills. There were also coconut, coffee, and cacao plantation along the view.

The resort owner provided services like yoga and tracking for its guests. There were two tracking options. The first option was the medium distance tracking that last for two hours, and the second option was five hour tracking around the rice field area. 

The fresh air and hospitality of the local residents could be the cure for tired body and mind.

The cafe dominantly painted with black displays posters, paintings and mannequins wearing soldier uniforms form the World War II period. 

The Nazi nuance is still strong since the cafe displays two Adolf Hittler portraits, two SS images and a flag with swastika symbol.

"During the second world war, Nazi was the ruling party in Germany," Henry explained.
In July 2013, Soldaten Kaffee der Kommandantur Gross at Jalan Pasirkaliki, Bandung, was closed after protests from a number of people and foreign media. Henry said the closure was prompted by false assumption from the mass media that the cafe owners are Nazi sympathizers.
