Gallery of Kisses

This performance recorded live in Jakarta features a wide range of talent, from harpist Maya Hasan and noted jazz singer Syaharani to acappella group Jamaica Café. Taped in 2002 at Taman Ismail Marzuki, the 12 songs accompanied a remarkable three-day performance by the EKI Dance Company. As a theatre piece, "Gallery of Kisses" explored the power of a kiss and its various expressions of lust, affection, friendship and as social greeting. With a cast that included actors Sujiwo Tejo, Rachel Maryam and Farhan along with writer Tommy F. Awuy and presenters Nico Siahaan and Indra Safera, the play unfolds as a model marriage and family unravel due to extramarital affairs. As the family attempts to pick up the pieces, the story tries to remind the audience how so much of modern-day life in Indonesia is dominated more by violence than love. The soundtrack takes the listener on a similar journey through a selection of songs and compositions created especially for this unique work of art.
