Sumunar Indonesian Music and Dance   October 18 - 20

A young woman and a prince battle evil ogres for fresh water to save a village in this new dance drama featuring master performers from Java. Contemporary and classical dances, with intricately carved masks and ornate costumes, accompanied by live gamelan, round out the program. Saturday evening will include a second program of traditional long-form, meditative gamelan pieces paired with classical dance selections, including elegant court and masked topeng dances. The Sumunar Gamelan and Dance ensembles are joined by guest musicians and dancers from Java.
