Short Description:
The popular stages of Indonesia offer a window to inter-ethnic cultural obsessions and signs of participation in global trends. It includes examples from the diverse genres that make up Indonesian popular theater: komedi stambul, a form of musical theater initially dedicated to the Arabian Nights; opera derma or Chinese-Indonesian ‘charity opera’; and tonil, theatre in the mold of European realist social drama.
