VISUAL AND FINE ARTS
This year I attended a very huge celebration held by the Javanese monarchy. This event is special because it is a once in a 250 years celebration, which means a once in a lifetime opportunity of a celebration. Mangkunegaran is the name of one of the biggest monarchy in Java. People who are invited are people that have either blood relation to the monarchy or really close family. My grandmother is part of the family so I am also invited to attend this once in a lifetime opportunity event. It is a three days celebration, but I only attend the last day, which is the climax of the event. It is held at the monarchy’s palace. The program for that day is traditional dances with musical drama. The event was really extravagance; there were about 300 dancers involved in the event at that day. There were musical dramas combined with traditional dances. They were using horses and elephants. There is also a part of the play that I really liked, which is at a fighting-dancing scene on water. From far, it looks like they were walking on water, but it turns out there were a glass beneath it so it looks like they were walking on top of the water’s surface. There were also very old traditional dances, and the dancers were also old. I think by experiencing this event the artists have one goal, to bring back the memories of the monarchy. Part of the dances and dramas are about the previous kings of Mangkunegaran. There are different dramas and different dances, which explains the different life of the kings. The traditional dance and musical performances also remind us to the traditional Javanese arts. There was Wayang performance which brings back the old culture so they are not lost. I think it is important for our countries to keep up these kinds of events to prevent culture lost.
I really like the overall performance, and it ended with release of balloons. I and my cousins were really busy taking pictures of ourselves during that night. We were using traditional Javanese costumes, and we really enjoyed the night because we are able to take picture with the king and participate a once in a lifetime event.
