As  pinnacle of the month-long  festivities to celebrate Jakarta’s 486th anniversay  which falls on 22 June,  all eyes will turn to the National Monument (Mona) square on 28th to 30th June 2013 where the colossal Dance Musical ‘Ariah’ will be performed on the biggest and most spectacular stage ever erected in Indonesia. ‘Ariah’ itself tells the story of a simple peasant heroine who struggled to uphold the honor and dignity of the Indonesian woman during the Dutch colonial period in Old Batavia (Jakarta). The historical account of the story coincides with the Farmers Rebellion in Tambun in 1869.
