A classic blockbuster with a dose of Indonesian mysticism.

Film, traditional Balinese music and EDM collide in Samsara: A Cine-Concert. This stunning experience created by acclaimed Indonesian director Garin Nugroho asks what price you would pay to fulfil your heart’s desire.

When a man from a poor family is rejected by the wealthy parents of the woman he loves, he strikes a bargain with the Monkey King, performing a dark ritual to gain wealth. But in the process he curses his wife and child into suffering.

Set in 1930’s Bali in a world steeped in magic and myth, the story unfolds in a black and white silent film soundtracked by live music from gamelan ensemble Gamelan Yuganada and world-renowned electronic duo Gabber Modus Operandi.

Featuring traditional dance, masks and wayang kulit (Indonesian shadow puppetry), Samsara: A Cine-Concert is a bold and memorable cinematic experience, seamlessly bringing together the art forms, nuances and traditions of Indonesia’s past and present.
