 Moving from the grandiose scale of Opera Jawa (SFF 2007) to this
playful, more spacious, collaboration which fuses European free-jazz
with traditional Javanese music, Indonesian filmmaker Garvin Nugroho
exhibits (in very different ways here) his sublime sense of filmic
architecture, the camera becoming a third participant in the documented
performances. A free-jazz trio, made up of Heinz Geisser (percussion),
Guerino Mazzola (Piano) and Norris Jones (bass), enter into a project
with Nugroho and local musicians, singers dancers, at and around the
famous Borubudur temple. The performances respond first to everyday
life, then the tragedies of life (here with a focus on the earthquake at
Yogyakarta) and finally, spirituality, with the film linking these three
movements using commentary by a local sculptor, strangely in the guise
of Superman!  CS
