I LA GALIGO
“I like working with an epic of this scale because the memory of the heroes is still present in the people of the village. It is a surreal world but yet it is real. The eyes and the hands of the performers become a concrete translation – with the colours, the sounds, the whispers, the perfumes – of the mystery and the divine. It is sensuality and beauty. There are very modern themes in the myth but the spectacle is mainly about the explosion of creativity. It is images, dance and music. The words are few: they are in the chant of the Bissu priest, the one who holds the secrets of the oral tradition of Sureq Galigo which guides the events between the sky and the earth.” Robert Wilson

Theatre, dance, music and poetry unite when the Bugis epic, I LA GALIGO, comes to the stage in a new visionary work by Robert Wilson. I LA GALIGO features a cast of 50 Indonesia’s finest performers. The music has been researched and composed by Indonesian master Rahayu Supanggah.
The theatre work is inspired by Sureq Galigo, an epic poem of the Bugis people of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Longer than the Mahabharata and comparable to the adventures of Ulysses in Homer’s Odyssey, the epic tells the story of the creation of the Middle World and the first six generations of its inhabitants.

The wild adventures of the main characters illuminate the cosmology of the ancient Bugis world, much of which is still alive in music, costumes, architecture and ritual of the Bugis people today. Sureq Galigo was brought to Robert Wilson’s attention for the first time four years ago by Rhoda Grauer and Restu Kusumaningrum and since then has been developed thanks to the continuous efforts of Change Performing Arts and Bali Purnati Center for the Arts supported by an international group of co-producers working on a large range of development activities. The projected have been assisted by a team of scholars, from Sulawesi and abroad, who have advised on the development of the epic for the theatre.

The challenge of the project is not only the creation of a spectacle that merges the traditions and folklore of the Bugis people with Wilson’s contemporary and visionary theatrical language but to also open doors to future study and awareness of this unknown work of extraordinary literature and imagination.

Robert Wilson has created an astonishing visual feast in this inspired dramatic collaboration with Bernice Johnson Reagon, founder and artistic director of a capella ensemble Sweet Honey in the Rock and curator of the museum of American history at the Smithsonian Institute. A production that asks fundamental questions about sin, goodness and the temptations of the flesh, starting from the figure of Saint Anthony in Gustave Flaubert’s novel of 1874. Saint Anthony’s struggles for perfect asceticism and reclusion but can also be seen as a symbol of the artist living in visions and images and getting lost in the imaginary world of his inspiration.

“Wilson drenches the stage in brilliant colour and beguiling movement. It is breathtaking to watch these singers possess the stage. Each is amazing.” Los Angeles Times

“As I began to work with the music, my first songs were musical impressions, building songs based on my readings and our discussions. Then I went back to the language of the text and began to build music based on the language. I was amazed at the way the Flaubert script challenged narrow interpretations of God, the creator, where one finds the highest expression, the role of the body in assisting spiritual experiences; the role of the body in hindering spiritual experiences…” Bernice Johnson Reagon
