Beskrivning
Delving into the vibrant world of colonial Indonesia, this work explores the Komedie Stamboel, a theatrical movement that emerged in Surabaya during the early 1890s. Characterized by its unique blend of humor and social critique, it captured the hearts of many and reflected the complexities of the societal landscape of the time. Through rich narratives and compelling performances, this theater not only entertained but also provided a platform for cultural expression and resistance.
Matthew Isaac Cohen reveals how the Komedie Stamboel transformed the performance arts landscape, drawing audiences from diverse backgrounds and challenging the norms of colonial society. The performances often incorporated local narratives and European influences, creating a dynamic and evolving art form that resonated with the cultural tensions of the era.
By examining its rise and decline within the colonial context, the author sheds light on the intricate interplay between theater and politics in late 19th-century Indonesia. The Komedie Stamboel serves as a vital case study of how performance can reflect societal issues, weaving together themes of identity, resistance, and the pursuit of modernity in a rapidly changing world.
