Live animation performance about the colonial history of the Netherlands and Indonesia
An enormous mock-up of Indonesia fills the stage. The players try to fathom colonial history and wander with mini-cameras through jungles and rice fields, past temples, volcanoes, villages, and mosques. The pictures are projected on a large screen, bringing the islands and the inhabitants to life. The story begins in 1597: the first Dutch ship arrives. We see how the Dutch appropriate the entire island empire in over a period of 350 years, only to lose it in the bloodiest war in Dutch history. Hotel Modern became world-famous with their live-animation performances with penetrating portrayals of great subjects.
