Alang-Alang Stage

Join us for a special celebration of one of Indonesia’s most influential literary works. Leila S. Chudori’s Laut Bercerita, published in 2017, which recounts the abduction of activists in 1998 and the families’ search for their loved ones, has become a landmark of Indonesian literature. Translated into English as The Sea Speaks His Name in 2020, and adapted into a short film by director Pritagita Arianegara, starring Indonesian film stars such as Reza Rahadian, Ayushita Nugraha and Dian Sastrowardoyo, the novel has now reached its 100th reprint, an extraordinary milestone in Indonesia’s book industry. Joining Leila S. Chudori, we will commemorate this achievement with a special screening.

The event will be conducted in Indonesian, with the film screening presented with English subtitles.
