"Pongo Abelii" emerged from the portrayal of orangutan experiences in Indonesia, stemming from four widely publicized events. These include a forest fire that forced them to abandon their habitats with uncertainty, instances of orangutan mothers being killed and their offspring taken away. These occurrences, predominantly in Kalimantan, motivated our creation. Our performance seeks to offer a different viewpoint, not from the human observers or participants, but from the emotional aspect of losing what we define as ‘home’.
