Seni Reak Juarta Putra (ID)

It’s intense and hungry, celebratory and fabulous when you get the chance to take part in the phenomenon of Seni Reak Juarta Putra. The Indonesian group performs an explosive, total-theatrical session rooted in the Sundanese culture from the western part of the island of Java in Indonesia.

The ritual has existed for more than 100 years and was originally rooted in local, familial ceremonies, but has now evolved into a musical phenomenon with several hundred performing groups.

The word reak is said to be a combination of the words eak-eakan and ngareuah-reuah, meaning music that captures the attention of those around it – and there is a guarantee that Seni Reak Juarta Putra will demand your attention.

The boundary between dimensions melts when the trance is invoked through wild and bodily dance with intense rhythmic accompaniment and wild physical exertions, anchoring the participants in a larger universe. Smoke, dance, and pounding drums ensure an intense total experience – in this case, in a unique collaboration with Danish musicians.
