AWAL / BEGINNING [DOCUMENTATION / EXCERPT]
A PERFORMANCE INSTALLATION OF DANCE WITH LIVE MUSIC ABOUT STARTING OVER AND CONTINUING ON
How can we regain hope in the face of personal loss and existential threat? Where do we find new sources of joy and promise for the future? We fall down and pick ourselves back up over and over again. What is this perpetual motion that drives us ever forward? rubarb dance & art explores these questions through dance, music, and visual art, drawing inspiration from traditional Indonesian music and dance. Working in international collaboration, the ensemble transforms the House of Indonesian Cultures in Berlin into a laboratory of synergies in which visual and sensory experiences overlap. The performance installation unfolds within diverse spaces, opening up new perspectives and auditory experiences.
A Phantasmagoric Gamelan Frenzy / Richard Pettifer
In “AWAL / BEGINNING” created by choreographer Ruben Reniers and collaborators at the Rumah Budaya Indonesia Berlin, an explosion of performative pedagogy blends traditional and contemporary choreography in a phantasmagoric performance event taking place over three days from 16 to 18 December 2022.
The space is pushed and shoved around, things occur in slow motion and fast forward – and moments begin to gather power and swirl, as dissonance becomes unison, and technique gives way to informality. It’s a triumph of collaboration and resourcefulness from an assembly of artists who seem at the peak of their powers, given the space to breathe and exchange. The result is infectious and marvellous, blending intimacy and precision in a kind of transformative conversation, shared in glimpses over an epic, 2-hour evening.

a musical dance performance with moving images by @rubarb_dance_and_art_
“In deeply moving solos, they give heartfelt expression to their pain and their losses— sometimes with an intensity that calls to mind German expressionist dance. But even these echoes have their justification in this sensitively balanced, soothingly beautiful, inventive long work. At its end, one is left with the sense of having experienced a healing, unifying ritual, an art event that draws its strength for the future from reformulating the commonality of all human existence”.

Film Screening
Road To REQUIEM | MANGONGKAL HOLI
by Marco Baass
at Haus der Indonesischen Kulturen - Rumah Budaya Indonesia - Berlin
Sunday 07. August 18:00 | Free Admission.
In 2021, rehearsals for Mangongkal Holi took place. For one summer, dancers, musicians, costume designers, stage and lighting designers came together under the artistic direction of Ruben Reniers to create a dance performance.
The result was an intercultural work that explores the themes of death and mourning, as well as life and joy, from a Western perspective and, in contrast, from an Indonesian one. This process was accompanied by Marco Baaß with the camera. In short interviews, the participants describe how they personally dealt with the topic and how they developed their own approach. But the film also describes how different artists have found together and in their joint creative process to a creative family.
