In "Nur Hin," the ritual of rice cooking invites both the performer and the audience to a meditation. It is a meditation in appreciating and reminding oneself about the meaning of a grain of rice. For the migrated people whose story told in "Nur Hin," cooking the rice is their connection with their motherland (Ibu Pertiwi). The grain circle drawn is their safe spiritual space in which they reconnect with their inner value, in the face of new values and life phenomenon. The process of preparing the rice, cooking and waiting, and finally serving it, is a daily life parallel of the work of a farmer: to plant (Nem), to tend the field (Sanga), and finally to harvest (Manyura). These stages, in the Javanese culture, also symbolizes the progression of the human psyche from infant to maturity. In the Wayang performance (shadow puppet play), it serves as the dramatic structure (Pathet Nem, Sanga, and Manyura). It shows how it is so essential to the symbolic life of the people. Sharing the grain of rice between the audience is our way to reminding, that we face scarcities in the face of food industrialization. By sharing it, we also would like to promote intercultural understanding and empathies. Regardless of nationality and cultural backgrounds, is it not that we all enjoy good food shared with good company?
