Inherited Line

2021FilmDuration: 8 minutes

"Satu Garis Menurun" is a dance film that contemplates inheritance. Through the symbolism of the parang batik motif, which represents continuity, resilience, and ancestral wisdom. Set against a windswept beach with steep slopes, the choreography explores the tension between surrender and resistance, as dancers move in dialogue with natural forces like wind and waves. Their bodies remain intertwined, echoing generational ties and unbroken lines of connection. Through repetitive actions like washing cloths, ritualistic, focused, and meditative. The work invites reflection on the cyclical nature of life and the weight of inherited memory.
