BELALANG LAB | DITP: Bumantara 2025
About This Opportunity
BELALANG \ CÀO CÀO is a “sense” derived from the grasshoppers living through all the Southeast Asian landscapes, implying the impulse of hopping around grasslands, sensing new green, zooming in on others to come closer to oneself. The act of a grasshopper leaping up into thin air and holding its eyes/life in between above and below before landing the grass creates a perfect invisible weave of traces and memories. That weave in between is where the known is unlearned and the unknown is learned. That weave in between is where new narratives are emerging.
In the process of reclaiming (our) narratives and finding senses of connection with the “others”, BELALANG \ CÀO CÀO:TRANSLOCAL PERFORMANCE LAB (the Lab) proposes a “home-in-between”, a hands-on infrastructure that allows the artists to experiment with making a “theater within”*, as in finding the right “panggung” (stage) where their words can be spoken and heard truthfully. It’s an invitation to inhabit the in-between as a site of co-presence, friction, and collective emergence. It’s an inquiry to look around, to look within and explore the dramaturgy of everyday life.
