Peer Gynts in Larantuka, the first phase of Multitude of Peer Gynts project was held for two weeks from June 23rd to July 6th, 2019, in East Flores, Indonesia. The first phase was about collective research and exchanges on the issue of fear and anxiety within the context of mobility and immobility of the contemporary world, using Ibsen’s Peer Gynt as the dramaturgical platform. Within two weeks, all the key artist-collaborator of the project from Teater Garasi-Indonesia, Japan, Sri Lanka, and Vietnam, came together in East Flores to have some field trips to several social-cultural sites around the island and also to have a collaboration with 10 East Flores artists. As a result of the two-week collective research and exchanges, we managed to create a work-in-progress presentation that we performed on the beach, in Larantuka’s city park, East Flores, on July 6th, 2019. Peer Gynts in Larantuka was supported by the Japan Foundation-Asia Center, East Flores local government, Indonesian Agency for Creative Economy (BEKRAF), and Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture.
