HELLO MANUSIA
BIOGRAPHY
Sefa is a graduate of the doctoral program at Hiroshima University and is currently a senior lecturer in the Department of Drama, Faculty of Creative Arts at the University of Malaya. They have been a member of the art collective Projek Rabak since 2011 and began their journey as an artist in 2007. As a mime artist, their performance explorations are more experimental, playing with improvisation and the synergy between music and body movements based on the concept of Corporeal Mime by Etienne Decroux. He is also a fan of fish crackers and “keropok lekor” (a type of traditional Malay fish cracker).
SYNOPSIS
‘Hello Manusia’ is a presentation of body movement expressions accompanied by sound that reflects the anxiety of the post-pandemic era. It questions and criticizes the existence of humanity, which is full of irony. It incorporates the movement motifs of laborers, a group often used in the narcissistic political games of humans. Weariness is the language that this performance aims to translate.

SYNOPSIS
Echoes (gema) and Reverb (gaung) are a result of the same physical phenomena. The only thing that makes them different is our own human perception of time and distance. In this piece, we draw on our own musical traditions and experiences to distort these perceptions and reflect on the way we make distinctions.
