JAKARTA - Brigitta Sriulina Beru Meliala, better known as Idgitaf, has once again proved that the limitations in enjoying art are only a perception.
In his appearance at the KLBB Festival 2026 held at the Madya Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (GBK), Central Jakarta, recently, the 24-year-old soloist presented a performance that went beyond the standard of a music concert in general.
Not only singing in front of thousands of spectators, Idgitaf chose to share the spotlight of the stage with the Deaf Friends community to create an atmosphere of inclusiveness.
This collaboration is the main magnet in the midst of the festival's commotion, where music is no longer just a wave of sound, but is transformed into an emotional visual language.
The presence of the Deaf Friends community on stage provides a deep interpretation through contemporary dance movements and sign language that is in harmony with each arrangement.
Reflective songs like "Rutinitas" and "Sedia Aku Sebelum Hujan" also feel more alive when the lyrics are translated into strong physical expressions, making the audience feel as if they are invited into a world without limits of hearing.
For Idgitaf, this step is not just a stage gimmick or aesthetic demand, but rather a statement of attitude regarding the basic rights of every human being in accessing works of art.
He emphasized that the music performance industry in Indonesia is time to be more friendly to all groups, including people with disabilities.
"Music is the most basic human right, not a privilege or privilege for a few people. Concerts should be comfortable for everyone," said Idgitaf.
"If we can't do that, it means we haven't really been inclusive," he continued.
The Batak-blooded singer added that the experience of collaborating with Teman Tuli gave him a new perspective as an artist.
The connection that was built on stage proved that emotional vibrations can be conveyed even without verbal words.
Idgitaf wants to show that, although everyone has a different way of absorbing information, the feeling produced by a work is still universal.
"On that day, there are hearts that speak, souls that hear, and ears that resonate. For me, music is always wider than just sound," said Idgitaf.
"This is part of the small efforts to survive and continue to process, even though the rain has not stopped," he concluded.
