JAKARTA - The Indonesian film industry has just lost one of its best sons. Adi Kurdi, known as Abah in the soap opera Family Cemara, passed away to God on Friday, May 8 afternoon.
Agustinus Adi Kurdi, thus his full name, suffers from a neurological disorder. He was confirmed negative for COVID-19 so that the funeral procession did not use the COVID-19 protocol.
Even so, the family will still carry out the PSBB (Large-Scale Social Restriction) appeal during the funeral procession. Mourners who attend the funeral procession will also be limited.
The family plans to bury the body of the man born in Pekalongan, Central Java on September 22, 1948, Saturday, May 9 tomorrow at the Rendra Theater Workshop, Cipayung, Depok, West Java.
"Not buried today. There will be a ceremony first," said Tuti, Adi Kurdi's wife.
Before he died, Adi Kurdi was treated at the National Brain Center Hospital (PON), Cawang, East Jakarta. Lifetime Achievement at the 2018 Indonesia Movie Awards leaves behind his wife and one daughter.
Adi Kurdi started his career when he joined WS Rendra's Theater Workshop. His name has risen to prominence through his role as Abah in the soap opera Family Cemara by Arswendo Atmowiloto.
As an alumnus of the School of Art, Theater Program of New York University, Adi Kurd's acting is certainly taken into account in both soap operas and films. Conquering Girl becomes Adi Kurd's debut event on the big screen.
Adi Kurdi still starred in a number of films before the end of his life, including I Want to Kiss You Just Once, 3 Days Forever, When You Get Married, The Moon on the Grave, Finding Srimulat, and The Martyr. Finally, he starred in the television series Masalembo which aired on the NET in 2015.
