They performed and collaborated in several regions in Indonesia and have developed exquisite spaces that aid in the appreciation of a diverse society, which has become inspirational in creating a masterpiece.

This is an extraordinary attraction where there is interaction and meaning within this manifold space, making for a very different experience involving a collaboration of artists with diverse artistic backgrounds.

Further, collaboration does not stop at a creative level, but has a broader context and meaning which lasts even after the show finishes
