64th anniversary of Indonesian Independence, Jakarta

August 17, 2009. Celebrating the 64th anniversary of Indonesian Independence, the residents of Menteng Dalam, South Jakarta, held a range of competitions, one of them being the “wild chair” competition. The children go around the circle of chairs while dancing to the tune of a song. As soon as the song is stopped, each one of them has to sit on a chair, which is always one fewer than the children. Whoever fails to sit on a chair, lose. The game continues until there are only two children competing for one chair. Ardi Yunanto | August 2009
