SHARING

{MOBILE, BY THE BEACH}

The Ikatan’s Spirit House moves around Bali to share its wisdom on the story of the Three Sacred Bonds, making sure that everyone from all backgrounds can learn about its everyday spirits and local values. Performed at the beaches where each full session is located at different shorelines, the mobile theatre acts as a bridge between two realms; the real and the spiritual.

As the beach is famously known as the icon of tourism and pleasure of Bali, one may forget that it is also a unique sacred place for locals to embark on ceremonial rituals and purification. Hence, the beach presents a duality between the two worlds. Placing the mobile theatre by the sea when the participatory play occurs, the installation becomes a totem; in this shoreline, two realms exist. The Seen and The Unseen, weaved together to form a bond that balances each other. This a reminder for all Bali’s visitors, despite enjoying the island as a visual pleasure, to also remember in maintaining an appreciation for its beautiful spiritual heritage.
