A world class music-theatre show is set to perform again in Indonesia, after previously surrounding nine countries. The show inspired by South Sulawesi's classical literature, Sureq Galigo, will be held on 3, 5, 6 and 7 July 2019 at Ciputra Artpreneur Theater, in Kuningan area, South Jakarta.

The stage script was adapted from Sureq Galigo, a story of Bugis creation myths enshrined through verbal traditions and manuscripts. After that, it written in the form of poetry using Bugis language and Ancient Bugis letters. Adventure, travel, warfare, stories of forbidden love, complicated marriages, and betrayals are covered in Sureq Galigo. All of these elements were arranged into a rich story, interesting, dynamic, and has a red thread related to the modern life today.

The La Galigo players will speak through dance and gestures. Soundscape and music arrangement composed by music maestro Rahayu Supanggah under the direction of one of the best contemporary theatre directors in the world, Robert Wilson, will add the grandeur and wealth, as well as the privilege of this performing art.

In addition, this spectacular music also creates more dramatic expressions.

Before the music was made, I La Galigo's team conducted research first to create a very beautiful musical accompaniment.

Gathering scattered Sureq Galigo was actually not easy, because besides being spread in Indonesia, there were also in abroad. In Indonesia, the book was not in one place, some have become private collectors, some were placed in museums.

When it had succeeded in obtaining customary 'permits' with a fairly long and gradual process, the I La Galigo scrip then written. However, the journey to study the text was not easy too, because it took three years until finally the first I La Galigo performance was held in 2004, in Esplanade, Singapore.
