During the summer of 2019, Arcinda was invited to perform at the Bali Art Festival in Indonesia for the first time (sponsored by Bank Mandiri).
We also performed in 2024 (sponsored by My Pertamina). We have collaborated with local groups and universities (Institute of the Arts), Denpasar, to bring together a performance that tells the story of Arjuna and Srikandi. We hope to continue promoting culture to Colorado, Bali, Indonesia and beyond!.
