Go In to Go Out is a performance development based on the artistic research platform “Membaca Sanghyang”, (“Reading Sanghyang”) done by Wayan Sumahardika through a collaboration between Mulawali Institute with Geriana Kauh-Karangasem and Kepaon-Denpasar cultural villages in Bali. As a local collective ritual, Sanghyang becomes a wellspring of meaning for foreign spectators who visit and watch. Oftentimes, Sanghyang is exposed to the variance of narratives outside of itself and its supporting community. Go In to Go Out to re-examine the position and agency of the audience, extending the choreographic experience of watching the Sanghyang ritual, recognizing the events behind the sanghyang stage, and its relationship to today’s urban reality.
