Shirabyoshi and Gamelan "Tsukikage no Kawa ~Benewi awewayangwulan" [Sponsored Performance]

■ About the work

"Moon River" sings the novel "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn". "Huck escapes from a difficult home" and "Jim escapes from slave owners." Despite their different worries, the vast river allowed them to explore adventures and develop friendships. The vast river that flows in Java will also invite people to adventure in life and give friendship to a single person because of people's troubles. Think about the shadow of the moon reflected on the river during this year's mid-autumn harvest moon.
