RANDAI

I watched RANDAI for the first time when there was a student cultural festival a couple years ago and It is incredibly beautiful. RANDAI is traditional West Sumatra performance art that combines singing, dancing, martial art, and theatre. There is a story that being told for each performance. It usually delivered some important message to the audience.

Reflecting to this fact, I am just thinking what a beautiful approach that people in the past did to spread a message Trough art, through movement, through melody, through beauty.  In today live, may be this kind of thing has been forgotten. Sometimes, arrogantly, we force our thought, our principles, our message to other people. We hurt them in the way we talk and act. May be the message is right, may be it is really important, but with wrong attitude of addressing this intention, everything is going to ruin.

So, learning from RANDAI, we can change the way we communicate, with beauty, not violence.
