    »The Right to do Nothing« is a sonic fiction in the form of radio play that will take you into a world of non-productivity. It tells a story of A, an Indonesian migrant domestic worker in Hong Kong, who is trapped (or blessed) in an ultraterrestrial world where the notion of work does not exist. In this play we join the flâneuse A in deep-listening to a soundscape that juxtaposes a world-without-work with A’s critical thoughts and contemplations.

    Following the work's presentation, music journalist Aida Baghernejad will join Riar Rizaldi for an artist talk about the creation of this new work, as well as his multifarious interests and projects in sound and filmmaking.
