WFH@klpac: pragina : EMOSI
Notice to viewers
I decline the title of Iron Cook and accept the lesser title of Zinc Saucier, which I just made up. Uhh… also, comes with double prize money. Leela's gonna kill me. Switzerland is small and neutral! We are more like Germany, ambitious and misunderstood!
Leela, Bender, we're going grave robbing. Calculon is gonna kill us and it's all everybody else's fault! And I'd do it again! And perhaps a third time! But that would be it. Leela, are you alright? You got wanged on the head.

pragina : EMOSI
For those still hesitant to travel, enjoy a slice of Bali with “pragina : EMOSI” created by a duo who shares a deep love for Balinese dance.
Malaysian-based dancer Emi grew up in Indonesia where she has spent her life mastering Balinese dance from the age of four. She has opened KENZO’s fashion show and performed at the Singapore International Festival of Arts. Zhafir Muzani, who also trained in Indonesia, has won four awards for his spellbinding Balinese dance performance.
Together, they bring you “pragina : EMOSI” (pragina means dancer), a coming together of traditional and contemporary Balinese dance. You will see pieces that are entirely authentic to the traditional art form from the facial expressions down to the footwork while some pieces cross over to the contemporary in hope of building greater appreciation towards the “Nusantara” art form so that this tradition can continue over time.
Staged at klpac in November 2021, this performance recording is a rare opportunity to experience Balinese dance and its possibilities, brought to life by Emi and Zhafir along with another talented dancer Shafiq Yussof to the sounds of the Balinese flute played by MK Ridzuan.
pragina : EMOSI (pragina = Penari dalam bahasa Bali) merupakan eksplorasi gerakan Bali yang dieksperimenkan antara tradisional dan kontemporari. Menampilkan beberapa karya tradisional dan kontemporari berlandaskan gerakan Bali yang meluahkan pelbagai emosi melalui wajah dan gerak tubuh penari. Percampuran antara tradisional Bali dan kontemporari adalah sebagai bentuk apresiasi seni nusantara agar tak lapuk dek hujan, tak lekang dek panas.
