✨ NIFF 2026 LINE-UP REVEAL ✨ From the cultural heart of Bali, please welcome Kerta Art to NIFF 2026! 🇮🇩🌺 Founded under the Kerta Prabha Budaya Foundation by choreographer Ni Komang Ayu Anantha Putri, Kerta Art is dedicated to preserving the richness of Balinese dance while creating bold new artistic expressions through its signature Intercultural Performing Art approach. By weaving together Balinese traditions, contemporary performance, international collaboration, and cultural exchange, Kerta Art continues to celebrate Bali's living heritage for audiences around the world. At NIFF 2026, Kerta Art proudly presents Legong To Future, an original choreography by Ni Komang Ayu Anantha Putri, accompanied by an original musical composition by Paskal Suraj Sayan, one of the remarkable contemporary musicians from the United States. This special collaboration brings together Balinese classical dance, contemporary movement, immersive visual elements, and a powerful new musical landscape. Inspired by the timeless elegance of the sacred Legong tradition, Legong To Future explores how cultural heritage can continue to evolve without losing its soul. Through fluorescent glow-in-the-dark visual artistry, refined choreography, and a cinematic contemporary score, the performance conveys a powerful message: tradition is not left behind—it continues to shine, transform, and inspire future generations. This collaboration between choreographer Ni Komang Ayu Anantha Putri and composer Paskal Suraj Sayan celebrates the meeting of cultures, proving that artistic dialogue can transcend borders while remaining deeply rooted in identity. We are proud to welcome Kerta Art to the NIFF 2026 stage, where the spirit of Bali will illuminate an unforgettable celebration of culture, creativity, and the future of traditional performing arts. ✨ 📍 Ubud, Bali, Indonesia 🗓 25–28 September 2026 #NIFF2026 #KertaArt #AncientLightFutureMotion #FolkloreFestival #FestivalBali
