15 June – Opening of MALUKU 2.0
Museum Maluku warmly invites you to the official opening of the new exhibition MALUKU 2.0 on Saturday 15 June. This video installation by film director, screenwriter and editor Mano Som pays tribute to two centuries-old traditional Moluccan dance forms, the menari and the cakalele, and gives them a contemporary twist. Immerse yourself in these powerful Moluccan dances, filmed as never before…
About Mano Som Mano Som is a film director, screenwriter and editor. He gained his Master's degree at the Sint-Lukas film school in Brussels. His work revolves around the themes of masculinity, vulnerability, spirituality and dance. "Almost every story I had heard about Moluccan identity, in films, in television programmes or on the radio, had the same kind of narrative," Som says. "About the pain of the past and the trauma. Those are of course entirely legitimate stories, but I also noticed that it means you end up in the same well-worn story every time. The idea behind the dance project MALUKU was to tell a different kind of story, one more focused on the future and on showing our talents."
