Salamanca Arts Centre and Mobile States present Jade Dewi Tyas Tunggal’s return to Hobart with the stunning dance performance Opal Vapour. Created across two countries – Australia and Indonesia – invoking classical Javanese court-dance, instilled with the mystical influence of Indonesian trance-possession ritual. Opal Vapour is a mesmerising new contemporary dance work exploring deep connections between human origins and nature, rites of passage and embodiment in performance.

Jade’s sinuous transformation is supported by the sublime lighting landscapes of Paula van Beek and the haunting, evocative voice and music of Ria Soemardjo.

Visit the Opal Vapour tour website for further details about the project background and more reviews.

“Ria Soemardjo sings. Her whole body becomes voice. There is a kind of simplicity to her physicality that makes space for the sound to emerge as pure affect.”
