Jokasta: transnational performance by Balinese artists

Abstract

Jokasta is a new creation (kreasi baru) by the Balinese choreographer and dancer Ni Madé Pujawati and the Balinese composer I Nengah Susila. It was performed by the London-based Gamelan Lila Cita and Lila Bhawa Dancers in October and November 2012. This article by Margaret Coldiron is part of an ongoing study of the transnational and transcultural work of these Southeast Asian artists.
