Djimat is one of the most important figure in the history of theatre.
Aged over 70, still living in the small town of Batuan (Bali).
Fighting against the winds and tides of modernity. Struggling against the perverse notion of exoticism, I Made Djimat pursues, humble and sage, his childhood dream.
The Project is a tribute to a great man, born in a family of theatre masters, respected around the world, carrying this reputation as a gift of gods.
In parallel with his photographic works, Looka is also directing film documentaries around the world.
His first film Documentary Black Box is the result of 5 years following the creation process of The House of Dancing Water, a show directed in Macau (China) by Franco Dragone. Far from being a "making of", It is a journey through time, exploring the minds, the moods, the sensations,... of the artists involved in the project.
His second film documentary is about I Made Djimat, a very well-known figure in the world of theatre who is coming from a small village in Bali. I Made Djimat had a major influence on some of the most important directors in the 20th century.
