BAGASPATI & KABAR KABUR

BAGASPATI (2000) & KABAR KABUR (2000)
Using his background in classical Javanese dance, renowned for its tautness and intricate coordination, Mugiyono has created an homage to the cycles of the sun in BAGASPATI. Set amid a sea of candles, accompanied by traditional gamelan music, Mugiyono wears the mask of Panji, one of the most refined characters in Javanese mythology. In a mystical and spell-binding atmosphere, Bagaspati evokes the role of the sun as the vital life force.
In contrast, KABAR KABUR sees Mugiyono occupy a tiny square of the stage to use his body as a metaphor for society at large. Created after the fall of the Suharto regime in 1998, Kabar Kabur presents a wry commentary on a country in chaos. Playful contortions, poses and awkward balances reveal disorder and instability as Mugiyono embodies the
rumours and half truths of that time.
Mugiyono Kasido established his company, Mugidance, in 1992. A prolific creative force in Indonesia, he has also performed worldwide with a variety of collaborators.
“…a welcome and fascinating oasis of calm” Susan Reiter, Dance View Times.
