Solah Gatra, traditional dancers
The art work that combines the traditions of 'wayang orang' and 'kethek ogleng' (dance with ape movements) is titled Degradasi and is performed for public on Saturday, 7 Dec 2019 at Pendhapa Sasangka after a series of routine rehearsals since May 2019.
Solah Gatra Dance Group was established in 2013 and has been involved in a number of dance performances in Solo, Ngawi, and Jakarta. The name 'Solah Gatra' is taken from the word 'solah' which means motion, and 'gatra' which means clear/clarity. This group believes that movements that are carried out in a positive way reflect human behavior to bring themselves towards a better path.
