Editing for Mbaru, a dance film that tells a story of the people of Wae Rebo — a remote traditional community living in a village located on top of a mountain surrounded by deep forests in Flores Island, Indonesia, known for its unique architectural style and strong community values. The film portrays their philosophy of life that closely entails their relationship to God, nature and one another which may offer insights into their unique worldview. Both, the costumes and the choreography convey the culture and traditions of the people of Wae Rebo that preserve the connection between the past, present, and future highlighting their social interaction and important aspects of their social dynamics.
