Subversive, immersive, and partially submerged, Arka Kinari transforms into a floating stage for a bespoke multimedia performance by Filastine & Nova, using music to sound the alarm for the climate crisis and cinematic visuals to imagine a post-carbon future. A strange ship has appeared on the waterfront, painted in evocative patterns, streaked with rust, and battered by storms. It came from a distant island somewhere in the Indo-Pacific, a place where rising seas have already made life on land impossible. As the sun dips below the horizon, a lone figure sings out to gather a crew and begin a voyage. Expressed through an otherworldly musical mix of traditional Javanese melodies, hypnotic polyrhythms and contemporary electronic beats by the musicians Filastine & Nova, Arka Kinari is at once peaceful and urgent, meditative yet menacing. It stands as both a warning of the coming storm and an invitation to sail into an alternative future. The Arka Kinari performance has been shared among audiences in the ports of more than 25 countries, from prestigious international festivals to remote stilt villages. Tonight, their performance marks the first engagement of Colomboscope with the contested extension to Colombo: Port City.
