The Embodiment of Masculine and Feminine | Rianto - | TEDxMlatiWomen

Lengger Dance is a traditional art originated from Banyumas which combines masculinity and femininity in one performance. Right now, Lengger is struggling to maintain its existence and fight against time, changes of preferences, and most importantly: stigma. The talk is a story about Rianto's fight in conserving the thing that he loves the most. Rianto Manali is a Lengger Lanang dance performer. This dance is a dance from Banyumas that shows the practice of cross-dressing, a man that dance women figure, as the medium to express body, gender, and construction. Recently, he joined Akram Khan Company, England. Some of his outstanding previous works were Soft Machine - a solo work under the direction of Choy Ka Fai - and Medium that was performed in 2016, and has been performed at the Esplanade Da:ns Festival in 2018. In 2018, he presented his creation entitled Hijrah, which is Rianto’s creation about gender migration. It was performed on May 25 at ArtJog, Yogyakarta. In 2019, he became a cast in the film Kucumbu Tubuh Indahku (Memories of My Body), a film that lifts the story of Lengger Banyumasan and raised issues about Indonesian art that were threatened with extinction due to the rejection of its own community. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Coba kalau orang2 sadar kalau gender identity itu sebenarnya BUDAYA Indonesia. Orang2 seperti ini keren loh, they express themselves with their fluidity of masculinity and femininity. Respect bangettttt

[@thomasdwiputra365]

Liat otot2 dia, penari adalah atlet seni.
Dia flamboyan, gw tetep anggap dy lebih maskulin drpada mrk yg males2an dan cuma bisa ngebacot.

[@MARISAPRASETYA]

When rianto use dewi sekartaji's mask, he looks like beautiful woman. When he use other mask, he looks like gentleman. There are Feminine and Masculine in the body. Other perspective from rianto.

Louder, masih banyak masyarakat yang harus paham dan teredukasi mengenai hal ini, biar labeling bukan jadi kebiasaan.

[@andoding4275]

Sayang di Indonesia,hal yg berhubungan dengan gender lain dianggap LGBT,padahal sejak dahulu kala sudah ada dalam budaya Jawa seorang pria menari dengan pakaian wanita,seperti dalam acara ludruk, tari lengger,tari Remo,dll

[@leonyixora2635]

Hi there! I was reading your comment, then I tried to translate this in the form of a transcript. It might not sound like a professional one, but you might learn something from it. Fyi, I am Indonesian and taking an English major in my university. Just let me now if you want me to send you the soft file. Have a nice day!

[@Mangoleaf23]
