Gatotgaca Nyungging by Purjadi
Yesterday (twenty two December) on invitation out of Purjadi, my good friend and previous secretary, We sought out so you can Desa Leuwilaja (Kecamatan Sindangwangi, Kabupaten Majalengka), a tiny town only outside of the city of Jatitujuh, which was celebrating the yearly Sedekah Bumi ceremony. People from Bandung possibly build a good detour by this urban area so you can taste your regional dinners, and fundamental path off Cirebon to Jatitujuh is lined that have good fresh fruit really stands.
Sedekah Bumi inside Majalengka try distinguished in style, hence try no exception. Not merely try indeed there an extraordinary list of gantungan clinging off the latest phase rooftop, including in your community-designed multiple containers that would be marketed among the many musicians and artists during the the end of the tell you, the new results and additionally searched the two most well known sinden throughout the Cirebon region, Itih and you can Iwi, which dressed in complimentary green gowns and sat on several layers from pads through the let you know, such queens on the thrones.
The new song requests been nearly as soon as Iti and Iwi turned up on stage and you will had been be2 VyhledГЎvГЎnГ lingering up to We remaining, fulfilled inside the medleys of 4 or 5 audio. The latest enjoy, Purjadi warned me personally ahead, would just take second destination to the brand new sounds attraction at this juncture. The Bupati, who regarded on close kecamatan out-of Ligung, in which Javanese is even verbal and wayang kulit preferred, was scheduled to go to, however, terminated on last second when he needed to arrive up until the governor. The audience is actually extremely conscious through the – Purjadi commented to a single of performers that in case it was not with the facts it absolutely was thus dark we might pick a sea of faces within the stage. There were plus an effective range of manufacturers offering noodle soups, batagor, tahu goreng, bapao etc.
While the Purjadi predicted, there clearly was very little drama on the display past. The fresh new play are Gatotgaca Nyungging (Gatotgaca Depicted), an old department facts. During the Purjadi’s advising a keen ogre king’s girl try need by many people suitors and you will a good sayembara or tournament is done – anybody who can also be overcome the brand new king’s minister commonly obtain the lady hand. Up until the event provides concluded, but not, the new little princess tells the girl dad to-name it well because there is already someone special within her existence. Her dad the brand new queen asks just what his name is and she claims she does not discover getting she only had glimpsed him a great dream. She brings the person regarding the girl fantasy (look for images more than) while the queen states he’s going to actually have so you can institute a good this new event – anyone who brings this son toward legal get a great specific honor. This new fantasy kid, given that term implies, try Gatotgaca, who’s plus the target regarding almost every other desires – especially a descendent from Naga Percona who aims payback to have their eliminating. At the time I kept during the step one.15am, the fight between the descendent off Naga Percona and you will Gatotgaca and you can the new punakawan clown servants featured planning to start.
Purjadi, as always, performed a fine job within the singing sulukan therefore the puppet voices, along with his puppet dancing features enhanced considerably in recent times, having rigid coordination on the kendang member. Race scenes were formulaic, not, so there is a lot less topical opinions than normal. The guy checked less than passionate. Perhaps he believed that people were not deciding on him but in the the latest sinden. I found myself worn out and you will restless, and even though We appreciated using my personal ipad and you may exhibiting photo I found myself getting into the artisans, sinden and you can visitors, fundamentally I remaining on approximately step 1.15 was, over couple of hours through to the avoid of the show.
There are still bulbs in the durian really stands to the main highway close, and that i is lured to stay in and attempt certain. However, We went back to my resort alternatively.
