Mencari Mata Candi means Looking for temple eyes.

Indonesian choreographer Mugiyono Kasido is creating a solo from traditional bas-reliefs from the Prambanan Temple, one of the most beautiful “sculpted books” of the Hindu art dedicated to Shiva. He believes “these petrified figures are lying dormant, awaiting a new interpretation”.

An outstanding dancer, Kasido awakens them. On stage he converses with his traditions – a musical gamelan and shadow theatre feature. From a temple in Java to a chapel in Brussels, these sacred gestures glide towards a new form of danced language.
