In the morning, February 4th, 2016, Khairunnas Mahadi AKA Nash Jauna (a participant of akumassa Chronicle) performed his first pantomime work, titled Cubit-cubit Bangsal (or Poking the Bangsal) at Bangsal Harbor. It was the first in a series of Khairunnas Mahadi’s work in the framework of participating in akumassa Chronicle’s residency at pasirputih, Pemenang Subdustrict, North Lombok.

At 10:00 am, Nash Jauna accompanied with documentation team of pasirputih, had been at the harbor. Nash who came with his casual clothes, went to the toilet near the ticketing room area, to wear his costume. Ten minutes later, he came out from the toilet with his made-up face. The toilet watchmen, all of queuing passengers, the tour guides and security officers were suddenly surprised. Nash had been a different man.

Nash Jauna teased them in the ticketing building of Koperasi Karya Bahari. Some people in the building then also responded the mime performed by Nash. In addition, Nash seemed to respond the condition of space of ticketing place and the waiting room which was dirty. It seemed that some people understood what Nash meant, they then tried to glean up some trashes.

Nash then went to outside of the building, walking to the beach. He came near to some passengers who would like to cross to the Gili by boat. In every his movements, Nash seemed to criticize the condition of Bangsal which was crowded by trashes. He was to trigger everybody in Bangsal to aware to that condition, invited some people such as labors, traders, cidomo coachmen and everybody else.

While Nash was acting his performance, Etika Lailaturrahman, a member of pasirputih, disseminated leaflets which was a comic, entitled Meta Keke, made by Syarief Rausanzani AKA The Broy (another participant of akumassa Chronicle). In addition to the story of meta keke (hunting the shells) itself, in the comic was also information about Bangsal Menggawe 2016: Membasaq which will be held as a folk festival for Pemenang people. Etika gave the comics to most of people in the Bangsal. We received various comments from some people who had read the comic. Anyway, everybody had positive responses and asked what time the event will be started. Even, there’s someone who suggested that the event have to be started in the evening so he can attend to see it.
