Ali Sukri Dance Company

The young West Sumatran dancer and choreographer Ali Sukri surprises the Indonesian audience with sparkling avant-garde performances, rooted in the ancient martial art (Pentjak silat) from the highlands of West Sumatra: Minang Silek.

Whereas Indonesian theater performances are widely known for their ritualistic folklore and slow dramaturgy, Sukri's performance is energetic and fast. It pushes the performers’ and audiences’ adrenaline non-stop to their limits. Presented in an austere form with hardly any folkloric references. The best kept secret of contemporary Indonesian performing arts, Sukri promises an intriguing and exciting experience.
