Sampah-sampah Ibukota

Art is always beautiful, because art conveys smart and deep critics to our society. With a symbolic language, art understands voice of the pain. Art embrace our pain in society and reflect that in the beauty of creations. For instance, yesterday I watched theater in Taman Ismail Marzuki. This theater presented by Teater Koma, my favorite theater group in Indonesia. They showed appaling reality of life that felt by the poor people in Jakarta. 

They decorated the stage with perfect and delicate decorations. They succeed to make the stage similar with a slump area. They contrasted the slum area (a dirty river, several bad houses under the bridge) with the high class area. Actualy, it is near with the factual condition. 

Although it was a fabulous story, it described our reality. Purity of heart possessed by the rich and the poor. On the other hand, we found many injustice and foolish done by both of them. Juroh and Jian are example of the sincere people. One mandor is also described having a good heart. Some turbulences must be appear in their mind and heart. Why good people be the victim of injustice. Why the wicked judge is accepted and acknowledge? They only had a simple dream. They just wanted to live happily with their small amount of money. Nevertheless, why the consecutive problems appear without ending?  

My heart is torn.

The tears seeps into my skins

My head is filled by questions

about God

about live

about victim

about His plan

about injustice

about depression
