Suryodiningratan Cultural Arts Event
Royal Brongto Hotel upholds Javanese cultural values to inherit the cultural heritage left by Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono VII. He was the one who built the Royal Brongto Hotel in 1917 and today we can still enjoy his legacy without changing anything.
On December 15, Suryodiningratan Village, Kemantren Mantrijeron held a Wayang Kulit Overnight Suntuk Performance with the play "Partakrama" in Minggiran Square. This performance feels special because the mastermind is a woman named Elisha Orcarus Allasso.
According to Suryodiningratan Village Head Riyan Wulandari, this activity aims to prove the potential of Javanese cultural arts in the Suryodiningratan Village environment still widely found in local wisdom.
The existence of puppet shows always carries philosophical, religious, and moral values. So that wayang is still maintained today and has become a cultural icon of the archipelago.
"I hope that through the shadow puppet performance at night, we can reap the positive values of the play 'Partakrama". In addition, together to participate in preserving culture. Not only puppetry, cultural preservation through dance, music, and art can also be done," he said.
Sumadi also hopes that this activity can be a motivational spirit for the art world in general and for artists, especially pedalangan, to continue to work and develop pedalangan art. "Let's join the nguri-uri of Javanese culture. Hopefully in the future Javanese culture will continue to be preserved, especially for our children and grandchildren," he explained. Sumber
