The Directorate General of Culture of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia in collaboration with the Titimangsa Foundation initiated a performance entitled 'Taksu Ubud'. Ubud City, which is located in the middle of the island of Bali, is famous as a tourism spot and the center of Balinese culture. Taksu Ubud' is an art performance of drama, dance and music featuring Ubud as a Balinese traditional guard. Through a simple story, 'Taksu Ubud' presents the beauty of Ubud art. Almost all Ubud people live close to customs and traditions. During the day, they work as farmers, traders, and teachers. At night, they live as performers of the arts in Ubud. The income they generate from their daily work is returned for custom development.

'Taksu Ubud' features dance, percussion and Kidung. The show involved many groups of dancers and musicians, such as Gamelan Yuganada, Bumi Bajra Sandhi Foundation, Kertha Art Performance, Sanggar Cudamani, Ubud Performing Art, Napak Tuju, Swaradanta and the Janahita Mandala Ubud Foundation. In addition, 'Taksu Ubud' also features many senior Balinese artists who have worked for decades with full dedication to art and cultural development. Taksu Ubud' also highlights prominent Indonesian actors, namely Reza Rahadian and Christine Hakim.

Taksu Ubud tells the story of a young Ubud man, Umbara, who since childhood has lived far from Ubud and his mother. It was time for the mother to ask Umbara to return to Ubud. Immediately, Umbara faced a dilemma. Should he leave the comfort and convenience he got while overseas for the love of his mother and Ubud, an ancestral place that is foreign to him? Taksu Ubud' can be enjoyed online from 6 July 2021 to 12 July 2021.
