Museum II: Ridden is a collaborative performance that melts movement, object and sound, centers on exploring the body of readiness.

It has been presented in Indonesian Dance Festival 2022.
In this edition of ADAM Kitchen, together aims the interconnected relationship between tempo, gesture, and communication, investigating rhythm from both ritualistic and musicality perspectives. Furthermore, by unfolding a dynamic structure in which elements continually accumulate, reconstruct and transform, they attempt to challenge the concept of performing and perceiving in both stage design and choreography.
