Indonesian choreographer and dancer Rianto presents Medium, an exploration of the Central Javanese Lengger dance, a traditional, cross-gender form rich in history and spiritual depth. Taught by masters, Rianto brings this ancient dance into contemporary light, challenging binary opposites and exploring the spaces between genders, customs, and spiritual states. Medium emerges as a profound narrative of freedom, derived from "elinga ngger" — a call to awareness and memory.
