Dear friends,

we survived the second year and started the next with this 'Festival in Bona.' During the year we built a second toilet, a small house for music and a decent door, made a small street to the house to walk easier. We fixed the car, an endless source of sorrow and joy. We started the festival with Rps. 235.000 on April 1. 92 the day of our 2. anniversary.

We had send in November 91 invitation letters and more than 30 friends visited during April and May 92, performing one way or the other. Unfortunately our event was shortened or banned to avoid additional occasions for unrest during the time of election. But we found our way to get as close to our dream as we were strong this time around. The generous contribution by the Goethe Institute, who paid the journey of Reinhard Zabka and the East German artists and the Ministry for Kultur of Brandenburger, who supported the German group to cover festival related expenses, saved us.

Reinhardt Zabka and Eva Kowalski who had applied for and found assistance spend this money to support this festival nearly entirely, helped by our seventeen friends from Thailand. This, so I hope encourages artistic and cultural oriented organizations of other countries to help the next time in similar ways. The Goethe Institute further sponsored DM 700 to support a documentation of this event. We crated a ca. 300 pages Xerox book ( 25 pieces) and photo folder which we will share with friends. We would like to make a small edition from our money (ArtHouse) to share some information with the other who could not come to encourage them the join the next event. I hope you like it...

During the festival we found in Toni Lasem, a hotel manager who lives in Bona a very helpful partner. He donated the use of one of his houses to be another studio during the festival. Further he has accommodation in Negara on the West part of Bali. We could join with Toni to create a second leg in Negara. We can find room to sleep, but we have to pay and many different variety of bamboo music. A place were modern creation or combination is easier to be accomplished. Since our house and the support of Toni are sufficient to accommodate guests in the moment, there is no need to build or construct anything. Maybe we should tile the bathroom, there are complaints. We should find a way to use this money, now nearly 2 Million Rps, (ca. $ 1000) to create a fund to service the house.

Finally, Reinhard Zabka and myself agreed to send the same invitation letter for a second festival with the same, slightly changed title, to the same invited friends. Following the Balinese calendar this will be in app. 420 days from April 1. 92. Maybe in June/July 93. We hoped for this use in our House and we made a test version. I hope we succeeded to be able to try it again. Best wishes and I hope to receive others or/and reactions.

Thank you for your trust.
