Abstract
The theater work entitled “Bangku Kayu dan Kamu yang Tumbuh Di Situ” by Yusril takes as its starting point the problem of education in Indonesia which is yet to find the right concept and always changes from one year to another. This phenomenon of education is presented through the symbols of the actors’ body movements and the properties of wooden benches that are constantly changing function. The directing design of this performance is to combine the traditional Minangkabau art of randai with the modern art of hip-hop to create a contemporary performance. The result of the collaboration is packaged in the concept of paco-paco, which is a concept that unites artistic fragments to become a structured form. The acting design of Yusril’s “Bangku Kayu dan Kamu yang Tumbuh Di Situ” focuses on the territorial aspect of the wooden bench (bangku kayu) and the actor’s body as a personal space that creates a natural enclosure. The actors help to create the work through their elastic bodies that move as their conscience desires.
