Andalas University Drama Performances

 

Friday, December0, 9, 2022, Credit Earning students from Andalas University  performedin the Prijono room, Faculty of Humanities, Udayana University.  This performance is a form of appreciation for the short stories "Shadows" by A.A Navis and "Tawa Gadis Padang Sampah"

In the form of a performing art, the ideas in the two short stories   are converted into a short theater (Drama) form.   As a mirror of the performing arts society it carries the important value that both short stories are trying to convey. The staging starts at 13.00 WITA until it is over. Both short stories were staged by two groups. This false world by the first group conveys how higher-ups, officials or rulers attach importance to their own interests over the interests of the people, as a form of adaptation of the short story Shadows by A.A Navis. While The Laughter of The Trash Girl by group two was staged with a comedic concept, the audience was also shocked to watch the performance, especially seeing the action of the Korep who often uttered his Minang language.

"This staging is actually part or achievement of the course "Literary appreciation" said Zikri, one of the performers in the play. " The course, which was taught by Sri's mother,  requiresus students to appreciate the two short stories by converting them into a theatrical form," he continued.

 The event was attended by at least 100 people including the Ko of the Department of Sastra Indonesia Faculty of Humanities, Udayana University, I Gusti Agung Ayu Mas Triadnyani and  mother Sri Jumadiah as the lecturer of literary appreciation courses and other lecturers such as Mr. Jalu and Mr. Mayun Susandhika.

In the series of events, not only filled with theatrical performances, Muhammad Fadli, one of the credit Earning students, also recited a poem with a Minangkabau cultural background at the end of the event.  Fadli recited a poem entitled "I'm with Sampelong" by Esha Tegar Putra.  This poem holds a message about a typical Minangkabau musical instrument called Sampelong which is said to have a magical aura. Not only Fadli, students from Unand and Unud were then provoked to read poetry at this event, Fani Yudistira, Uswah and Given who are students of the Sastra Indonesia study program, Udayana University also read poems at this event. Not to forget Yesa, a student of the English Sastra Study Program who also participated in Credit Earnings did not want to be outdone and participated in reading, her poems.

The event then ended with the delivery of messages and impressions by a representative of this exchange student. (Andalas University Fadli)
