| Description | This project was awarded with the Ibsen Scholarship in 2019. “Multitude of Peer Gynts” is a project initiated by director Yudi Ahmad Tajudin and dramaturg Ugoran Prasad from Teater Garasi in Indonesia. The project is an inter-Asian project where artists from as diverse countries as Indonesia, Japan, Vietnam and Sri Lanka will look into the fourth and fifth act of Henrik Ibsen´s “Peer Gynt”, creating a collaborative piece of performance. In these two acts, we find a disillusioned Peer traveling, trying to find his way in the world: through corrupt business and by re-imagining himself in new personas over and over again. In the last act of the play, we follow him in search for himself as he returns to his place of birth. From this platform, the project will spring thematically, exploring issues like mobility and immobility, fear and anxiety and the idea of “home” from the perspective of diverse Asian corners. The project looks at Ibsen’s “Peer Gynt” as a courageous tactical manual of global mobility, border crossing, drifting, and intentionally getting lost in the fear-mongering, anxiety-inducing world from the perspective of precariat subjects. That is – getting lost in the search for a new sense and a different kind of home. “Peer Gynt” gestures toward the possibility of Peer Gynt’s imaginary that consists of a multitude of subjects alike that were forced to travel the world for various political, social, philosophical, and/or personal causes. With this possibility, the project is aimed to begin uncovering the larger picture of the overlooked, tactical world-map, where all these Peer Gynts came from. Looking at the shrinking but perpetually reterritorialized world from viewpoints of the diverse Asian corners, the project seeks to discover new intersections along the pathways of Asian precariat’s, those who navigate through fear and anxiety as engineered by the invisible and ubiquitous new Empires of our contemporaneity. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Further Information | Peer Gynts in Larantuka, the first phase of Multitude of Peer Gynts project was held for two weeks from June 23rd to July 6th, 2019, in East Flores, Indonesia. The first phase was about collective research and exchanges on the issue of fear and anxiety within the context of mobility and immobility of the contemporary world, using Ibsen’s Peer Gynt as the dramaturgical platform. Within two weeks, all the key artist-collaborator of the project from Teater Garasi-Indonesia, Japan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam, came together in East Flores to have some field trips to several social-cultural sites around the island and also to have a collaboration with 10 East Flores artists. As a result of the two-week collective research and exchanges, they managed to create a work-in-progress presentation that we performed on the beach, in Larantuka’s city park, East Flores, on July 6th, 2019. Peer Gynts in Larantuka was supported by the Japan Foundation-Asia Center, East Flores local government, Indonesian Agency for Creative Economy (BEKRAF), and Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture. FROM THE PROJECTS HOMEPAGE: "The aim was not to stage an Asian Peer Gynt, that we know for sure. We seek to make a theatre that is based on exploring the state of encounters and movement across Asia from the viewpoint of flaneurs, drifters, and exiles just like Peer Gynt(s) as well as the viewpoint of immobile subjects who are structured to remain in places that desire immutability; places that Peer Gynt(s) calls home. From such a framework, this project is also intended to become a hub of thinking around movement, mobility, and globalization, especially from the Global South viewpoint. As we are focusing on the story of people who have desires or being forced to travel we find it necessary also to understand those who seek to remain immobile and to preserve space and time as immutable." | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
