Tzusing at Dekmantel Festival 2019

This is the music for a contemporary dance performance called Bakabadi. A collaboration between Abugrey Lobubun (Dancer) , Kyla Callista (Visual Artist) and Agha Praditya (Music Composer). BAKABADI is a new dance and multidisciplinary work choreographed by Abugrey Lobubun. It is a combination of two words 'baka' and 'abadi'. Both words are synonymous and have the meaning of ‘unchanged and eternal’. This work departs from the beauty of Cenderawasih - The Birds of Paradise (especially male birds of paradise) from Papua, who has the ability to dance in a complex and astonishing movements. This work is trying to visualize the beautiful form and movements of the birds of paradise, by mix-matching the traditional dances of Papua with a touch of hip-hop and contemporary. Thus, Bakabadi is a kind of prayer to God, a voice for birds of paradise and it’s habitat so that their beauty continues to last and protected.
