Virtual Performance for KJRI Melbourne

It’s been an interesting change of pace this year, from last years crazy year where we found ourselves to be performing almost weekly, to this years pandemic stopping us from performing at all.

Since gatherings and performances are currently not able to go ahead in person, we organised this online performance as our farewell for Pak Albert Abdi, Pak Kilin Pasetyo and Pak Prima Sastrawiria for the Consulate General of the Republic of Indonesia in Melbourne Staff Farewell this evening. Hope you enjoy!

The dance, Tari Lenggang Nyai comes from the word for swing: ‘lenggak- lenggok’ whilst ‘Nyai’ is named after ‘Nyai Dasimah’, an inspiring female figure who fought for her rights and freedom. This dance is performed by Deena, Mira, Seraina and Yana from Sanggar Lestari Melbourne.
