The Second of the Trilogy, REPUBLIK TOGOG, was performed as the 103rd production at Gedung Kesenian Jakarta (Jakarta Arts Building), July to August 2004. REPUBLIK PETRUK, will be performed at Graha Bhakti Budaya Taman Ismail Marzuki, Jakarta.

This is a story of an instant leader who in truth does not have the capacity of a leader. Because, he is only a jester whose job is to entertain his master. He is not the ‘Satria Piningit’ who the people are longing for. He is not a real performer who can illuminate the nation’s future as well. Alas, his actions moves beyond the authority of a king. This is the story of King Petruk Belgeduwelbeh.

The play is supported by around 75 artists working as actors-actresses and backstage creators.

Venue : Graha Bhakti Budaya, Taman Ismail Marzuki
