| PKB’s activities added
The
next year 28th Bali Arts Festival (PKB) will be improved and
renewed, particularly its month-long activities. “The
activities of PKB are going to be made six without changing
the essence and goal of the “27 year-old” arts
fiesta,” said Drs I Wayan Geriya of executive committee
of workshop for preparation of the 28th PKB, not long ago
here.
The all this time five activities held encompass a cultural
parade, performances, competitions, discussions, and exhibitions
of products by small and medium industries.
“Beginning next year, those five activities will be
made better with the presence of a section having specialization
in documentations, recording all the doings as an attempt
to dig, develop, and preserve Bali’s arts and cultures,”
he said.
A working commission under the coordination of Bali’s
Cultural Authority has managed to decide the themes of PKB
for five year (2006-2010).
The themes discussed and approved suit to text and context
analysis. For PKB in 2006, it will bring the theme “Swabawaning
Hidup”, Membangkitkan Keluhuran Budi or Waking up Moral
Values based on Sutasoma book text.
The Sutasoma book (containing songs) explains that after the
Hindu Kreta and Dwapara age are over then Kali age comes,
an era where many chaotic things occur.
“Kala as an evil force makes humankinds as small worlds
(micro cosmoses) and the universe as a big world (macro cosmos)
angry, which then triggers riots, disputes, and natural disasters,”
said Geriya, who is a former lecturer at Faculty of Letters
of Udayana Unversity.
Indonesian residents, especially Bali’s, contextually
to this regard, has passed various disasters, chaos, and has
completed local elections resulting in new local governments.
Post “Kala” (era/time) in accordance to the 27th
PKB’s theme, it is expected that new rays will emerge
or at least one ideal to better future is materialized based
moralities.
Through art-cultural festivities, moralities were highly possible
to be freshened again, by evoking the good sides of humankinds
from people’s feelings, commented Wayan Geriya. *pry/ant
