Chasing big dreams in big cities, how do rural youths in Indonesia cope with the new life in their tiny rented rooms ('kost') in metropolitan Jakarta?

Traditional Papuan movement, hip hop and contemporary dance blend to offer a witty insight into their adventures and misadventures, created by rising Indonesian Papuan choreographic star, Jecko Siompo.

Jecko Siompo is one of Indonesia’s leading contemporary dancers and choreographers. He has participated in international dance fora within and outside Indonesia including Asia, Europe and the US. Since his student days at the Jakarta Art Institute (IKJ), Jecko has created some notable choreographies including Goda, Ini Budi, Irian Zoom In, Asmat Dani, Obahorok, Buto Huruf, Unanuk, Tikus-Tikus, Di Kamar Kost and In Front Of Papua. In 2007 Jecko participated in the Asia Contemporary Dance Festival in Osaka and the Asian Dance Conference in Tokyo.
