Inspired by Kafka’s work “In The Penal Colony”, Forum Lenteng tries to interpret the notion of penal colony in the context of contemporary society. For a year, we have studied and developed that idea which was finally presented on August 2017 through ARKIPEL – Documentary and Experimental Film Festival by assigning “Penal Colony” as the festival’s theme.
To continue that study and development, 69 Performance Club will frame “Penal Colony” in the form of performance art. “Penal Colony” refers to the prison system by means of exile where its impalpable control system brings compliance to the inmates through the unseen panopticon which exercises the function of surveillance.

Terinspirasi dari karya Franz Kafka “In The Penal Colony”, Forum Lenteng mencoba menginterpretasi gagasan dari “penal colony” dalam konteks masyarakat kontemporer. Selama setahun, kami telah mempelajari dan mengembangkan ide tersebut, yang akhirnya dipresentasikan pada Agustus 2017 melalui ARKIPEL – Documentary and Experimental Film Festival dengan “Penal Colony” sebagai temanya.
Untuk melanjutkan studi dan pengembangan ide tersebut, 69 Performance Club membingkai “Penal Colony” dalam bentuk seni performans (performance art). “Penal Colony” merujuk pada sistem penjara dengan cara pengasingan yang sistem kontrolnya menuntut kepatuhan dari para narapidana melalui panopticon yang tidak terlihat yang menjalankan fungsi pengawasan.
