Characteristics

Characteristics of Sahita’s works are to deconstruct traditional Javanese dance and  at the same time transforming into familiarly and satirically  new form and to be parody filled with fresh humour. The simple things, every day issues, current phenomena are presented in a universal and actual  way. The group is active in assisting, supporting, and participating in various workshops, rehearsals, and performances with other artists and groups from Indonesia.
