ICN Cultural Production is an annual musical theatre production that brings
a new perspective on Indonesian folklore and history to the Singapore community.
ICN is organized by the Indonesian Students of NTU (PINTU).
Since its humble performance in 2007, it has grown to be a professional student-run
musical performance with thousands of audiences.
We have performed for 10 times since 2007 to the Singapore community
who are interested in Indonesian culture. We have explored stories from
the Revolusi Indonesia period to an imagined dystopia in 2035.

HeyDiaspora
"ICN 2018 - Lakonna: A Musical is a musical brought to you by the Indonesian
students of Nanyang Technological University! Set in Tana Toraja,
an exotic region in Sulawesi, Indonesia, Lakonna showcases a story of love and ambition,
asking the question of how far human beings should go in chasing their dreams.
All the costumes, set, musical arrangement, script,
and choreography are all originally brought to you by the students themselves!"
Arts Republic
"The Torajan culture is often described as mythical and mysterious.
However, you would get to witness the different facets of the Torajan culture as
dancers leap and turn to celebrate love and victories in wars and mourn the deaths of loved ones.
This original choreography fuses Torajan traditional tribal dance with contemporary
dance to create an entirely unique dance style.
This musical is more than just a story. With actors and dancers clothed in colourful
traditional costumes and a stage decorated just like a Torajan village,
this musical is set to be a 2-hour immersive cultural experience.
For one night, you would be transported to the ancient village of Toraja."
Metro TV
"Nirwata: A Musical is a rewritten story of the famous Balinese folklore,
Jayaprana and Layonsari. Even with an addition of new characters, it still
retained its original message. Nirwata is the 8th installment of ICN Cultural Production
since 2007. This year, they succeeded in attracting more than 1200 audiences,
filling the seats at University Cultural Centre Singapore."
Broadway World Singapore
"Constantly throughout the years, the Indonesian community in
Nanyang Technological University (NTU), have never failed to amuse and enlighten
the public with Indonesia's rich cultural history. Talented and passionate students
from all kinds of academic backgrounds, all the way from engineering to art,
have participated in this musical."
Global Indonesian Voices
"ICN is the place where creativity thrives, and where students can show the world their
version of a folklore written long before their years. The fact that students,
mostly majoring in science or engineering, of ages 18 to 24 can produce a marvel
comparable to that of cinematic tropes is awe-inspiring."
