HARI GHULUR
WHITE STONE
White Stone merupakan pertunjukan berbasis laboratorium tari yang diciptakan melalui pengaruh dari metode impresif dan emosional dari teknik Gaga dikombinasikan dengan gerak Pencak Silat Pamor Madura.
Karya ini terinspirasi oleh isu umum tentang masyakarkat Madura yang dikenal sebagai masyarakat yang karakternya keras dan tegas sikapnya. HAri Ghulur tertarik untuk menelusiri hubungan antara kondisi alam dan letak geografis tanah Madura. Karena kondisi geografis yang sangat gersang dengan bukit bebatuan terjal dan kering, tanah hanya dapat ditanami singkong, ubi, dan jagung yang mana merupakan hasil bumi utama dan menjadi konsumsi setiap hari.Budaya merantau masyarakat Madura mempengaruhi cara bersosialisasi mereka yang unik. Sejak kecil (utamanya laki-laki), mereka belajar pencak silat sebagai dasar pengendalian dan perlindungan diri. Hali ini sering memberi kesan dan sering disalah artikan dengan kekerasan fisik (carok).Namun seiring dengan perkembangan zaman, kesan ini bergeser menjadi hal yang positif dan membangun citra masyarakat Madura. Kerja keras dan meningkatnya taraf pendidikan, masyarakat Madura berkembang menjadi masyarakat yang lebih fleksibel, berwacana luas dan inovatif.
White Stone hadir dalam koreografi yang mewakili wacana ketubuhan masyarakat dan struktur alam Madura. Kekuatan fisik yang digabungkan dengan momen-momen emosional mendekatkan kita pada sisi kemanusian yang realistis.
WHITE STONE
White Stone is a dance laboratory-based performance created through the influence of the impressive and emotional methods of the Gaga technique combined with the motion of Pencak Silat Pamor Madura.
This work was inspired by a general issue about the Madurese community, known as a society whose character was strong and firm. Hari Ghulur was interested in exploring the relationship between the society and the natural conditions and the geographical location of the land of Madura. The very arid geographical conditions with steep and dry rocky hills, land can only be planted with cassava, sweet potatoes, and corn which are the main crops and are consumed every day.
Nomadic culture of the Madurese people influencing their unique way of socializing, for example, since childhood (mainly boys), they learned martial arts called pencak silat as a basis for control and self-protection. This often gives the impression and is often mistaken as physical violence (carok).
But along with the times, this impression shifted into a positive thing and built the image of the Madurese community. Through their hard work and increasing levels of education, Madurese society developed into a more flexible society, broad and innovative discourse.
White Stone is present in the choreography which represents the discourse of the body of society and the natural structure of Madura. Physical strength combined with emotional moments bring us closer to a realistic humanity.
