Architect Dea Widya and writer Suina Latersia developed “The Tina and Joi” Trilogy; a fictional story that tells about a young couple struggling in a conflictual marriage and their daily life in the city.

A beautiful former colonial house, home to the Goethe Institute, managed by The Lodge Foundation in the heart of Bandung’s DAGO district, staged the performance-related installations in various media that respond to the story of the mysterious Tina. 2-8 November 2023

In an artistic re-enactment, the house, a community place for (cultural) gatherings in everyday life, regains its original status during the project, as the home of the disappeared bride Tina. The multimedia disciplines of the participating artists complement each other, placed in a hybrid route through different rooms in the house.

As the audience enters, they feel Tina’s presence in “traces she left behind” and her spirit hangs in the atmosphere.

I elaborated on the story with a magical installation consisting of large printed

400 cm high endurable textile panels that hung down in the patio. New drawings and real plants from the houses environment were projected via two mobile overhead projectors on the panels. Performative presentations were done two times on 7 nights. The audience became part.
