Kapanlagi.com - Actress Marcella Zalianty mentioned that she has long wanted to bring the story of Laksamana Malahayati into performing arts. Before eventually being adapted into a theater performance by the Indonesian Navy, Marcella Zalianty had previously made the story of Laksamana Malahayati into a comic.

“This has actually been my long-time dream to bring this character into performing arts. So, it has been initiated since a long time ago, starting from the comic,” said Marcella in a press conference in Central Jakarta, Thursday (7/9/2023).

During the rehearsal session for Malahayati performance, Marcella Zalianty even had to endure sword strikes and was taken to the hospital. This is a signal that the 43-year-old woman is very serious about working on this performance.

1. Figure of Admiral Malahayati

Marcella Zalianty apparently has her own reasons why she is very interested in lifting the story of Admiral Malahayati, who is a heroic figure from Aceh.

"Why Admiral Malahayati? We are a maritime country and our maritime identity is gradually fading over time, we need to remind ourselves that we are a strong maritime country," said Marcella.

2. Inspiration for the Young Generation of Indonesia

First Admiral TNI Dr. Hariyo Poernomo hopes that the theater performance of Jalasena Admiral Malahayati can inspire the young generation of Indonesia.

"We hope that with this activity, it can inspire Indonesian women to become Malahayatis in the current era," said Hariyo Poernomo.

The performance of Jalasena Admiral Malahayati is the highlight of the 78th anniversary of the Indonesian Navy.

3. Cross-Profession Collaboration

Jalasena Laksamana Malahayati is directed by Iswadi Pratama and Jay Soebijakto as the artistic director. The theater performance of Jalasena Laksamana Malahayati is starred by Marcella Zalianty, Arswendi Bening Nasution, Aulia Rahman, Cut Mini, and Willem Bevers.

Not only that, Jalasena Laksamana Malahayati also collaborates with Koma theater players, Barata wayang orang, as well as Kowal soldiers and Marine Corps officers.

The theater performance of Jalasena Laksamana Malahayati will be held at Graha Bhakti Budaya, Taman Ismail Marzuki, on September 8-9, 2023.
