The Koro Riots
Set in an imaginary country of Southeast Asia, a former French colony named Hujung Manani, this is a political satire which revolves around the struggles for democracy. The country’s dictator, Priapus, has a wife named Datin Lotis who uses black magic—namely the power of a weretiger. The narrative unfolds when the Koro epidemic, a mental illness, that affects men who believe their penis shrinks into their body and disappears—starts affecting the republic. Concerned and protesting against the dictatorship is a political enemy of Priapus, named Pertiwi, who has decided to not just overthrow Priapus, but also to bring democracy in place, in all its right senses. Traitors, followers, protestors, and many revolutions later, will the struggle end in winning against the odd, or will it instead unleash the harsh realities of the republic?
