Inu Kertapati

Inu Kertapati, 40, has been through bittersweet experiences of being a Cirebon slangit mask dance artist. He has danced at various places, from the streets in Cirebon to the magnificent buildings overseas. He has been through glory and hard times. However, his commitment to preserve the slangit mask never dimmed.

For the last 15 years, Inu has struggled to revive the slangit mask through the Wijaya Kusuma Dance Studio. The mask dance originates from Slangit village in Klangenan district, Cirebon regency.
