Awakening of the Myth
First
Part : An Orisha adaptation of an Indonesian
mythology, this narrative dance performance highlights the
traditional Balinese Mask Dance technique. Ancient gods and forest
spirits come alive to interact with the audience, conveying the importance of
community spirit in order to attain harmony and to save the environment from
destruction.
Second
Part : A condensed
version of the ancient Ramayana titled Rescue of Sita, this humorous and
dynamic performance will have the audience having fun interacting with the
puppet characters. These puppets showcase the richness of traditional wayang kulit and
wayang golek characters, and the performance style provides better understanding of traditional cultural values and symbolisms
of those characters portrayed.
(AP2) Dreaming and the Stolen
Memory
An
ORISHA original theatre production of dance, masks, music and puppets, this is a special journey about
being old and forgetful and of sharing memories and dreams. Characters portray importance of families and friendships,
appreciation of one’s own culture and acceptance of another culture. This
heart-warming performance uncovers the historical link between
the Yolgnu people of Northern Australia and the people of Makassar from the
island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. An interesting blend of cultures that is
truly and uniquely Australian.

The Final Trip
"Khayalan yang Terakhir"
An
ORISHA original that brings
to life the dangers of destructive behaviour and
consequences of substance abuse, this powerful performance aims to enhance Drug Education in schools
and to encourage further discussions on issues raised. Masked and puppet
characters interact with the audience, raising issues and conflicts between addiction and
the survival
for life. A special follow-up
workshop titled, “Say “NO” to Choops!”
has been designed for Upper Primary and Secondary levels, as part of this
performance package.
