| Sabtu-Minggu, 11-12 Juli 2009, 20:00 WIB Tari HUNGER OF THE LAND (Perdana Dunia) Koreografer dan penari: Eiko & Koma, New York AS di Teater Salihara HTM Rp 100.000,- | Pelajar/Mahasiswa Rp 50.000,- (tempat terbatas) Hunger of the Land (2009) adalah sebuah pertunjukan tari berdurasi kurang lebih 60 menitHunger of the Land merupakan hasil pengerjaan ulang karya Eiko & Koma yang bertajuk Land, karya kolaborasi dengan musisi Native American, Robert Mirabal yang dibuat pada 1991. Land terinspirasi dari saat-saat ketika Eiko & Koma berada di Taos, New Mexico, tempat di mana Mirabal dibesarkan dan tinggal. Selama 1000 tahun, Taos telah menjadi wilayah kesukuan Taos Pueblo Indians dan menjadi rumah bagi 2000 orang yang masih hidup dengan tradisi nenek moyangnya. Selain itu, daerah New Mexico ini juga merupakan lokasi percobaan nuklir, yang memungkinkan dilepaskannya bom atom di Hiroshima dan Nagasaki pada 1945. Eiko & Koma dan Mirabal mengunjungi Hiroshima dalam proses pembuatan Land. Dalam karya Land, Eiko & Koma menciptakan sendiri bentang kuno mereka, sebuah situs yang dengan ketekunan telah diimajinasikan secara akttif dan dirasakan secara kinetis oleh para penampil dan penonton. Kini, 15 tahun kemudian, Eiko & Koma menggali kembali konsep dan musik dalam Land dan menggabungkan tema kelaparan dari karya terbaru mereka, Hunger (2008). Dalam Hunger of the Land, Eiko & Koma menunjukkan bahwa bukan hanya manusia yang kelaparan, bumi pun lapar akan kesuburan dan keintiman. Hunger of the Land merupakan salah satu komponen pertama dari Retrospective Project (Proyek Retrospektif) Eiko & Koma setelah bertahun-tahun berkarya dan berkolaborasi dengan beragam perupa. Proyek ini akan melibatkan instalasi hidup, publikasi katalog dan kumpulan DVD, pameran fotografi dan lokakarya. Proyek kilas balik ini dapat membuat Eiko & Koma merefleksikan dan mengevaluasi karya serta corak tema yang telah mereka bagi dengan para penonton selama ini. Bentuk dasar Hunger of Land ditampilkan pada musim semi 2009 di Alaska Dance Theater ketika Eiko & Koma tengah menjalani residensi sebagai Alaska AIR Fellows, United States Artist Program (Program Perupa Amerika Serikat), dan sebagai bagian dari acara pengukuhan Retrospective Project di Wesleyan University. Dalam Hunger of Land, Eiko & Koma akan mengevaluasi, mempertanyakan dan mengkontradiksi sejarah mereka sendiri, sembari terus tampil dan berkarya. Eiko & Koma tertarik pada bagaimana bumi teguh dan tekun hidup sambil mengenang masa lalunya. Meskipun tanah Hiroshima diserang manusia, tapi ia tetap hidup – seperti manusia yang berjuang untuk tetap hidup meskipun lapar mendera mereka. Tidak ada yang terlupakan, baik penyerangan atau kelaparan. Justru hal-hal ini telah menjadi bagian penting yang membuat tanah atau manusia terus melanjutkan hidup. Dalam Hunger of the Land, Eiko & Koma mempertunjukkan visual pemandangan yang hangus tapi tetap mampu mengasuh yang baru hidup. Karya ini dimulai dengan di sebuah lahan yang khas untuk berkolaborasi tapi akan terus menemukan pemaknaan baru di setiap tempat di mana ia ditampilkan. Penonton akan membawa pengetahuan masing-masing mengenai lahan dan leluhur di setiap tempat sehingga karya ini menjadi karya universal namun tetap spesifik. Hunger of the Land akan ditampilkan perdana pada musim panas 2009 di Teater Salihara 11 dan 12 Juli 2009, di Jakarta, Indonesia, dan di Arts Edge Wolfeboro di Wolfeboro, New Hampshire. Kostum dikerjakan oleh Eiko & Koma. Menurut Tony Prabowo, kurator tari Festival Salihara 2009, "Eiko & Koma terkenal dengan karakter karya yang introspektif dan tragis, layaknya Butoh, aliran avant-garde Jepang. Eiko & Koma adalah sedikit dari koreografer Timur yang tinggal di belahan dunia Barat. Karya-karya Eiko & Koma bisa dikatakan sebagai bentuk inovasi koreografi Butoh, yang harus mampu bersaing dengan karya-karya modern Amerika Serikat." Pementasan world-premiere Hunger of the Land ini akan diselenggarakan di Teater Salihara pada hari Sabtu-Minggu, 11-12 Juli 2009 pukul 20:00 WIB. Tiket seharga Rp 100.000,- (dan Rp 50.000,- khusus untuk pelajar/mahasiswa) dapat diperoleh langsung di Komunitas Salihara, atau reservasi melalui Natalie 0817-077-1913, Tiko 021-9619-2632, atau secara on-line melalui www.salihara.

Menari dengan Bumi (Preview Eiko & Koma Hunger of the Land) di TEMPO http://www.facebook Jadwal Lengkap Festival Salihara di: http://www.facebook ============ Saturday-Sunday, 11-12 July 2009, 08:00 p.m. Dance HUNGER OF THE LAND (World Premiere) Choreographers and dancers: Eiko & Koma, New York USA at Teater Salihara Ticket Rp 100.000,- | Students Rp 50.000,- (limited seats) Hunger of the Land is Eiko & Koma's reworking of their 1991 work Land, made in collaboration with Native American musician Robert Mirabal. Land was inspired by Eiko & Koma's time in Taos, New Mexico, where Mirabal was raised and still lives. Taos has been the tribal territory of Taos Pueblo Indians for more than 1,000 years, and it is home to 2,000 people who live with ancestral traditions. Yet this New Mexico landscape was also the site of the first nuclear testing, which enabled the 1945 atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Eiko & Koma and Mirabal visited Hiroshima in the process of making of Land. In Land, Eiko & Koma created their own archaic landscape, a site of perseverance actively imagined and kinetically felt by performers and audience alike. Now, 15 years later, Eiko & Koma are revisiting the concept and commissioned music of Land and incorporating the theme of hunger from their newest work Hunger (2008). In Hunger of the Land, Eiko & Koma show how it is not only humans that are hungry—land is also hungry for nourishment and intimacy. Hunger of the Land is one of the first components of Eiko & Koma's multi-year, multifaceted Retrospective Project which will include live installations, the publication of catalog and DVD set, photo exhibitions, and workshops. This project will allow Eiko & Koma to reflect on their work and examine the motifs they have shared with their audience over time. Prototype versions of Hunger of the Land were performed in Spring 2009 at the Alaska Dance Theater during Eiko & Koma's residency as Alaska AIR Fellows, a United States Artist program, and as a part of the Retrospective Project's inaugural meeting at Wesleyan University. In Hunger of the Land Eiko & Koma will examine, question, and contradict their own history as they continue to perform and create. Eiko & Koma are interested in how land perseveres while also remembering its past. Even though Hiroshima's land was assaulted by humans, the land keeps living—just as people strive to live even when they are hungry. Neither the assault nor the hunger is forgotten—these become essential parts of how land or people continue to live. In Hunger of the Land, Eiko & Koma are presenting a visual landscape that is scorched yet also nurtures new life. This work started with sites specific to the collaborators but it will take on new meaning at each site where it is presented. Audiences will bring individual knowledge of the land and ancestry at each site so that the work becomes both universal and specific. Hunger of the Land will be premiered at Teater Salihara July 11-12 in Jakarta, Indonesia and performed at Arts Edge Wolfeboro in Wolfeboro, New Hampshire on August 11. Set and costumes are by Eiko & Koma. Eiko and Koma Eiko (female) and Koma (male) were law and political science students in Japan when, in 1971, they each joined the Tatsumi Hijikata company in Tokyo. Their initially experimental collaboration soon developed into an exclusive partnership. The following year, Eiko and Koma started working as independent artists in Tokyo. At the same time, they began to study with Kazuo Ohno, who along with Hijikata was the central figure in the Japanese avant-garde theatrical movement of the 1960s. Neither Eiko nor Koma have studied traditional Japanese dance or theater forms; they have preferred to choreograph and perform only their own works. Their interest in Neue Tanz, the German modern dance movement which flourished alongside the Bauhaus movement in art and architecture, and their desire to explore nonverbal theater took them to Hanover, Germany in 1972. There they studied with Manja Chmiel, a disciple of Mary Wigman, the noted pioneer of Expressionism in dance. In 1973, they moved to Amsterdam and for the next two years toured extensively in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Tunisia. It was the late Lucas Hoving, a wonderful dancer who had toured with the early Jose Limon Dance Company, who suggested that they go to America. Their first American performance, White Dance , was sponsored by the Japan Society in May of 1976. Since then, they have presented their works at theaters, universities, museums, galleries and festivals world-wide, including numerous appearances at the American Dance Festival, five seasons at BAM's Next Wave Festival and a month-long "living" gallery installation at the Whitney Museum of American Art. They have also worked in dance/video as another means of communication with their audiences. Their video work has been presented on "Alive from Off Center" (1989) and at the Dance on Camera Festival at Lincoln Center (2001). Their videotapes are available through Pentacle (E-mail info@eikoandkoma. Recently Eiko & Koma's focus has been to present their outdoor works – River (1995), The Caravan Project (1999), Offering (2002), Tree Song (2004) and Cambodian Stories Revisited (2007)-- as free events in public sites. By performing at dozens of sites for over 30,000 audience members, Eiko & Koma have shared their work with a more diverse public than is usually attainable in theaters. They wish to present their dance as a part of the landscape, an offering and a process rather than a product. Though Eiko & Koma usually create their own movement, set, costumes and music/sound, they have also collaborated with a wonderful array of artists. Among them are Native American musician Robert Mirabal and painter Sandra Lerner (Land, 1991) singers Chanticleer (Wind, 1993), composer Somei Sato and Kronos Quartet (River, 1997), a Praise Choir and Joseph Jennings (When Nights Were Dark, 2000), dancer Anna Halprin and cellist Joan Jeanrenaud (Be With, 2001), clarinetist David Krakauer (Offering, 2002-03) and lighting designer David Ferri. Since 2004 Eiko & Koma have worked with the students and graduates of the Reyum Art School in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. In Cambodian Stories: An Offering of Painting and Dance, Eiko & Koma collaborated with nine young Cambodian painters-turned- Eiko & Koma were named John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellows for 1984. They were awarded one of the first "Bessies" (the New York Dance and Performance Awards) in 1984 for Grain and Night Tide, and were honored again in 1990 for Passage. They were named MacArthur Fellows in June of 1996. This was the first time in the program's history that the foundation awarded a so-called "genius" fellowship to be shared by collaborators. In 2004, they received the Samuel H. Scripps American Dance Festival Award for "lifetime contributions to the field of modern dance." Recently, they received the 2006 Dance Magazine Award and were awarded one of the first fifty United States Artists fellowships. Eiko & Koma have been permanent residents of the United States since 1976. They currently live in New York City, where they perform regularly and offer occasional Delicious Movement Workshops.
