One of our COVID era home movies experimenting with new visual techniques.
A setting of a short story from Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities.
Music: Karakurenai by Andy Akiho (www.andyakiho.com). Used with permission. Performed by Rumput.
Original artwork, puppets, mask by Andy McGraw (Virginia) and I Gusti Ngurah Agung Yuda Putra (Bali, Indonesia).
Rumput produces home-made multimedia performances involving traditional and original music paired with shadow theater comprising elements of American and Indonesian traditions - crankies (scrolling panoramas), overhead projectors, and shadow puppets. We have studied and performed with several Indonesian master artists, including: Danis Sugiyanto, I Gusti Putu Sudarta, Peni Candrarini, Endah Laras, and Ubiet Raseuki.
Check out (and donate to!) manualcinema.com to see how this visual technique is really done.
Most of us are also members of Gamelan Raga Kusuma. (www.ragakusuma.org).
