WARAK NGENDOG (captured at Central Java Parade) - a mythical creature from Semarang, Central Java. Usually made a few days before Ramadhan (holy month for moslem), as the closing of dugderan (a traditional festival to celebrating ramadhan). This creature is believed to represent 3 different ethnics which live in Semarang: Javanese, Arabian, and Chinese. We can see the head is like dragon head (Chinese), while the body is the combination of buraq (a special animal resembling the winged horse with a human head believed to take Prophet Muhammad to Sidratil Muntaha ~> Arabian) and goat (Javanese).
The word warak comes from wara’i (Arabian) which means holy. Ngendog (laying egg) symbolized as the reward of a person having previously obtained through the scriptures. So, warak ngendog can be defined as those who maintain the sanctity of Ramadan, one day at the end of the month will be rewarded on the Day of Eid.

Just Watching. Sebuah tari daerah Sumatra Utara oleh Unit Kebudayaan Sumatera Utara ITB dalam Pagelaran Seni Budaya ITB. Banyak penonton yang antusias menyaksikan.
Masih banyak kok yang cinta budaya Indonesia, tapi lebih banyak yang hanya bisa menonton daripada memperagakan.

Mengenang Peristiwa Bandung Lautan Api, 24 Maret 1946.
Bandung Lautan Api, WS Rendra
Bagaimana mungkin kita bernegara
Bila tidak mampu mempertahankan wilayahnya
Bagaimana mungkin kita berbangsa
Bila tidak mampu mempertahankan kepastian hidup bersama?
Itulah sebabnya…
Kami tidak ikhlas menyerahkan Bandung kepada tentara Inggris dan akhirnya kami bumi hanguskan kota tercinta itu sehingga menjadi lautan api
Kini batinku kembali mengenang udara panas yang bergetar dan menggelombang, bau asap, bau keringat
Suara ledakan dipantulkan mega yang jingga, dan kaki langit berwarna kesumba
Kami berlaga memperjuangkan kelayakan hidup umat manusia
Kedaulatan hidup bersama adalah sumber keadilan merata yang bisa dialami dengan nyata
Mana mungkin itu bisa terjadi di dalam penindasan dan penjajahan
Manusia mana akan membiarkan keturunannya hidup tanpa jaminan kepastian?
