Indonesian Culture Night (ICN) 2026 akan mempersembahkan 'Amerta - A Musical' di Drama Centre Theatre Singapore pada 14 Februari 2026, mengisahkan jurnalis muda gigih, yang menggali kebenaran gelap industri batik Laweyan.

Di Nanyang Technological University (NTU), waktu adalah suatu elemen menarik, meskipun singkat, ia memberikan sentuhan terpenting dalam karya bagi pemuda Indonesia. Bagi kami, waktu sesingkat 15 menit dapat menjadi durasi krusial untuk berkarya dan berkreasi. Hal ini terwujud melalui perkumpulan ini, suatu organisasi yang berhimpun bukan untuk sekedar bercanda tawa, tetapi untuk bertumbuh bersama, mengasah bakat, dan menampilkan potensi terbaik kami. Sebuah wadah positif di mana tari, teater, dan musik menjadi panggung utama untuk dapat membanggakan nama Indonesia di tingkat internasional.

Belajar hal-hal teknis, seperti gear, programming, dan penelitian akademis mungkin sudahlah hal yang berat bagi segelintir orang di luar sana. Namun, bagi kami tambahan 7-14 jam latihan berpentas sudah menjadi rutinitas biasa, kami tahu bahwa latihan itulah yang bisa memberikan dampak yang besar bagi negara kami dan teman-teman seperjuangan kami. Tidak hanya menjadi pemuda bangsa yang membanggakan, tapi juga memberikan nilai dan image baik bagi Indonesia.

Melalui Indonesian Culture Night (ICN) Cultural Production, tim artistik menyisihkan waktu dan tenaga sebaik mungkin setiap pekan dengan tujuan akhir untuk dapat memamerkan pentas seni yang diwarnai oleh ambisi pelajar Indonesia NTU. Kerja keras tim artistik memang patut diakui, kegigihan dan kekonsistenan mereka tidak bisa ditemukan di organisasi biasa. Namun hal itu juga tidak akan ada artinya tanpa peran dari tim produksi dan tim hubungan eksternal yang mengontrol berlangsungnya semua rangkaian kegiatan ini, mulai dari penggalangan dana, pencarian sponsor hingga detail kecil seperti pemilihan warna poster.

Bermula dari 2007 dan tidak pernah pudar semangatnya hingga saat ini untuk berkarya, ICN 2026 persembahkan 'Amerta - A Musical' di Drama Centre Theatre Singapore pada 14 Februari 2026. Di balik setiap motif batik tersimpan rahasia. Ketika Arum, jurnalis muda yang gigih, menggali kebenaran gelap industri batik Laweyan, ia bertemu Abimana, seorang penyair misterius yang mungkin memegang kunci yang ia cari. Tapi apakah cinta bisa tumbuh atau bahkan bertahan di tengah rahasia-rahasia tersebut?

Indonesia Culture Night (ICN) Cultural Production has been a platform for Indonesian students at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to tell stories celebrating Indonesian heritage through musical drama in Singapore.

Every year, a story is written, a stage is rebuilt, and the curtain is lifted once again. While each performance may differ, the purpose remains the same. Rooted in the pride of preserving cultural legacy, a new story returns in a different form, finding its expression once again through movement, music, and a shared sense of belonging within a familiar community.

Since 2007, Indonesia Culture Night (ICN) Cultural Production has been a platform for Indonesian students at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) to tell stories celebrating Indonesian heritage through musical drama in Singapore. From then on, ICN has continuously presented newly titled productions, such as 'Pahlawan' (2011), 'Neutralegni' (2013), and 'Kaharsa' (2024), each exploring different themes and narrative approaches. Though the intention remains the same, every production introduces new ideas, narratives, and interpretations through different storyline and settings reaching diverse audiences.

Each production is a journey itself. Rehearsals often last until late at night. Many set aside time from their demanding university lives to take part in the production, but despite the long hours, these moments are often accompanied by a sense of ease. Beyond what is seen on stage, many hands contribute to bringing ICN to life. The shared responsibility within their roles and the sense of community formed away from home create a unique and wholesome bond.

On 14 February 2026, ICN returned once again, becoming the new chapter in this ongoing journey. This year's production explores the themes of love, ambition, and social injustice through musical drama set in 1970s Indonesia. Ranging from traditional dances such as 'gringsing' from Central Java, to cultural heritage like batik, ICN showcases the diverse legacy of Indonesia with the collaboration of contemporary narrative.

Held in Drama Center Theater, ICN 2026 presents a new story set in Laweyan, Surakarta. Titled 'Amerta', the production follows Arum, a determined journalist uncovering the exploitation of batik workers and her unexpected connection with Abimana, a quiet and thoughtful poet. Their personal conflict unfolds alongside broader societal tensions, reinforcing ICN’s role not only as a cultural performance, but as a space where heritage becomes a lens for reflection, allowing stories from the past to speak meaningfully to the present.
