(Unrest, a love triangle and swinging hips ), ''The New York Times''; retrieved 2008-01-23〕 The film was commissioned for Peter Sellars' New Crowned Hope festival in celebration of the 250th anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. In addition to music by Rahayu Supanggah, the film features installation art production design by Nanang Rhamat. == Plot == Siti (Artika Sari Devi) and Setio (Martinus Miroto) are a married couple living in a small village. They were once dancers in plays depicting the ''Ramayana'', but have since retired from the stage to sell earthenware pottery. Siti used to play the part of Sita, the wife of Prince Rama, whom Setio portrayed. In an episode from the ''Ramayana'', Siti becomes the object of desire of evil King Ravana and is abducted by him. The events of the ''Ramayana'' are paralleled in the characters' real lives when Ludiro (Eko Supriyanto), a butcher who rules over all the village's business affairs, tries to seduce Siti. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Opera Jawa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
