Jakarta Stage Absurdities

If a city can be considered a stage, Jakarta must have been one of the best theater that stages absurdity. The city provides a place for all things that make no sense. Absurd means strange, silly, irrational, unreasonable, nor meaningful. All the things that seem absurd vain, like Sisyphus in Greek mythology who is serving a life by pushing the rock up the mountain - only to see it roll down again. We all became actors. Age range and variety of professions in the same place, at the time that is always running. Untold number of episodes, unpredictable storyline. Sometimes so flat, but not infrequently make tense. We do not know if this genre; be about love, mystery, and even comedy. Tragicomedy. Nothing is funnier than unhappiness, Samual Beckett said. In this drama, death can be unexpected. We do not know whether the morning when we play football in the afternoon we were still a part of the story. We do not know when it's raining hard, we will hit a large tree that fell in the wind. And we do not know exactly whether we are just extras that do not have any meaning to the story line. Often times we are bored and chose to exchange roles. Religious leaders can be a cop. Police could be pemalak. Business can be a politician, as well as politicians can be a businessman. Soap opera actress could become the government, otherwise we can also see the government become artists, with a face close-ups are scattered in the corners of the city. Rotate round the streets of Jakarta. Absurd scenes are easy to find. The highway pavement for the riders. Three shopping malls are located within a radius of one kilometer. Bus stops are not neglected. Traffic lights that failed to regulate road users. And others. No director, the city is the city of autopilot. Rules are made to be broken, including the manufacturer's own rules. Problems in the city instead become a daily habit until it becomes routine and normal. Jakarta is not jammed, therefore, is that Jakarta is not normal. If a man should try to make friends with nature, not the case in Jakarta. Green spaces that give breath to the people constantly trimmed. In the period of 80 years would lose 85 percent of Jakarta park. High rainfall making this city a loss to prevent flooding, but the lack of clean water in it. In the narrow alleys in East Pademangan even the most expensive in the world's water is sold for USD 37-75 thousand dollars per cubic meter. Jakarta is so absurd. However, he still gives room for life. Daniel Ziv, in his book Inside Out Jakarta, write "Jakarta is chaotic maze with slum areas, gleaming skyscrapers, and toll roads here and there, enveloped in a giant cloud of pollutants trapped in a hopeless impasse." "Most of the time is a miracle that this place can be beat. But he was constantly beating. With a very crazy. Jakarta is a city in crisis, but it also provides an enormous opportunity. Jakarta is a city of despair, which is also otherwise provide hope. " We really will never know how this drama will end. Our role as an actor was so small, such as scratching the sand in the ocean that will then be washed away by the waves. However, the absurdity of life on the stage is in fact not without significance. Albert Camus said, all the struggles enough to fill one's heart. "Sisyphus was a very happy," he said.
