Teater Garasis monumental performance project Waktu Batu ( Stone time ) appeared in acontext of alienation from Javanese cultural tradition produced by the fall of the Suhartoregime. Modern theatre groups had previously used familiar Javanese images to simultaneouslycriticise the authorities and celebrate local cultural identity. Waktu Batu, by contrast, engageswith Javanese history and myth in an abstract, fragmented multi-layered stage idiom, said toexpress the confusion of young Javanese living amidst a mixture of age-old myths and globalcultural influences. Reviewing these performances as theatrical events and as reflections on contemporarysocial experience, I suggest additional resonances, including, importantly, changinggender relations and the power of women
