Jogja International Street Performance

Well, this is almost too late to write about it, but, I think the value of this event will never be an old food. So let us start.

 

It was monday evening. I walked by foot this evening cause my bicycle was broken since last week. After passing Rektorat, I saw a crowd near the gate. There were some people there with unique costumes. Some foreign people were gathering there also to take pictures with them. I was wondering if this kind of crowd there, had a meaning with my friend’s tweet, Sekar Laras Kinanti, saying that JaKal (Jalan Kaliurang – street’s name), where the event would be held were going to be closed since morning until tomorrow.

 

The answer is YES. The name of the event is Jogja International Street Performance. Held by Dinas Kepariwisataan dan Kebudayaan Jogja (Tourism and Culture Dept.) to show the beautiful Jogja under the flag of Visit Jogja 2011.

 

There are some stages. Two are for the performers and one for the guest which I don’t know who. At this time, it’s only an opening (26 Sept). The core event would be held at 27-28 Sept at Taman Budaya Jogjakarta.

 

Here is the photos I captured with my Galaxy Mini.

 

Well I don’t know about this one, what and where it is come from. But the only thing I remember is one of the man from this group saying “Rai Gedek”. A phrase to symbolize person who don’t have shame..

 

It looks like body painting, ain’t it?

 

Got backlight for this one . Here I can see you the attention of foreign people on event like this.

 

I’m longing but practicing to have a six-pack stomach like this male dancer. Really.

 

See the foreign man? He’s using Sarong. Hahahah

 

I’m not sure about this one, but I think it was Kubu, a place to hold fish while a fisherman do fishing fish at fish pond..
