(Another) In Time With You Rant
Oh my, when I watched episode 9 yesterday, I really really wanted to break the screen and hug Da Ren. I don’t care if he’s such a wimp and gutless. It was just too painful to see Da Ren repeatedly said to himself that he may not and must not love You Qing. I feel like my heart was being ripped into shreds. Bolin Chen is such a wonderful actor. His subtle glance, sad expression, and his grim smile, those really did a number to me. Li Da Ren… I don’t care if you are the wimpiest, weakest, and most cowardly leading male ever exist in the dramaland. I’ll take you anytime!!! *spreading hands to give Da Ren the biggest and warmest bear hug ever*
Opera Diponegoro
Tiket Opera Diponegoro
Pada hari Sabtu kemaren (tanggal 12 November 2011), gw pergi menonton Opera Diponegoro di Taman Ismail Marzuki. Gw, weekend, pergi, dan bayar adalah kata-kata yang ga biasanya gw sandingkan bersama dalam satu kalimat. Tapi entah kenapa weekend kemarin gw mendapat ilham untuk menonton Opera Diponegoro. Mungkin karena gw selalu adoring sejarah. Mungkin karena gw pengen tahu rasanya nonton teater, opera, dan semacamnya. Mungkin juga karena gw bosen di kamar ga ngapa-ngapain. Anyway, motivasi gw menonton itu acara tidaklah begitu penting. Yang penting sekarang adalah gw pengen menuliskan kesan gw terhadap pertunjukan Opera Diponegoro.
Panggung Opera Diponegoro
Kesan pertama gw pas melihat panggung adalah, ‘hmmm… kok kayaknya kecil ya panggungnya’. Terus gw nyadar kalau layar lukisan Raden Saleh itu bukan background, melainkan layar penutup yang bisa diangkat. Pas pertunjukan dimulai, gw udah menunggu-nunggu layar diangkat, tapi ternyata mereka tidak mengangkat layarnya, melainkan mereka bermain dengan lighting sedemikian rupa sehingga layarnya jadi tembus pandang. Penonton seperti disuguhkan pertunjukan yang ada dalam sebuah kotak. I must say, that I was really impressed with the concept.
Awalnya gw pikir pertunjukan ini adalah semacam pertunjukan teater yang pakai dialog namun diganti dengan tari atau musik gitu. Ternyata isinya full tarian dan nyanyian dilakukan oleh narator (Iwan Fals). I must say that I was quite disappointed with that. It was beautiful and quite mind boggling, but to be honest I was having quite hard time to understand some scenes.. hehehe.. Luckily having the narrator is quite helpful. That way, I could understand or guessed the meaning of some scene from the lyric that was sung by the narrator.
Ada beberapa scenes yang bugging my mind. Pertama adalah scene ketika Nyi Roro Kidul muncul, gw ga habis ngerti kenapa Pangeran Diponegoronya musti muter-muter kayak gangsing di sono? hehehe.. Terus yang kedua scene ketika pesta para serdadu Belanda. Mereka menggunakan kursi lipat modern!! That was so out of place!!! Other than those scenes, I think I was watching in awe hehehe…
Overall, I was impressed and I won’t mind to watch another play like that again sometimes… Gw hanya berharap ketika nonton pertunjukan berikutnya, sense seni gw sudah jauh lebih baik dari yang sekarang sehingga gw bisa lebih mengapresiasi pertunjukan itu.. hahaha..
Langit Jakarta Sore ini
Gelap banget.. Bikin gw ga mood buat les.. Tapi berhubung gw inget sama duit yang telah gw bayarkan, gw tetep istiqomah.. Hehehe…
Kashiwa
I’m suddenly missing Kashiwa. It’s supposed to be autumn right now. The falling leaves, chilling weather, the people gathered in the town park, the obasan who preparing their garden for winter, are few of lots and lots other things that I missed from Kashiwa. Also, I’m missing the two years ago me most.
