“…The concept of Post-dramatic can point to something much bigger than just the form of characterization of the shows. This concept is a tool to explore new -forms of practice‖ born from rejecting texts as fundamental principles (Pate, 2015).…”

Nostalgia Sebuah Kota is a theatrical performance built from elements of symbolic bodily expression and a variety of poetic dialogue. This distinguishes the show from theatrical performances, which generally conventionally present everyday bodies and prosaic dialogue, close to the realities of everyday life. This article is intended to investigate the show to discover the concept behind this particular choice of idioms and expressions. The show is approached with Hans-Thies Lehmann's post-dramatic theory of theater, where a theatrical description is no longer aimed at explaining characters, themes, and plots, but the construction of five new components, namely: text; room; time; body; and media. Applying the descriptive analysis method, with data obtained from text studies, narrative interviews, and documentation studies, the research shows that Nostalgia Sebuah Kota is a performance that is triggered from fragments of poetry. IswadiPratama chose poetic power as the director, who is also a poet, to expand the expression of the poetry he has written. Based on the exploration process of the poem, Nostalgia Sebuah Kota then produces three products at once, namely performance text, play text, and a new poetry text.
