Ludruk Show in the Irama Budaya Theater of Surabaya it is over. After almost three hours of performance, entertaining maybe 15 espectators, the waria (how are called transgender in Indonesia) clean their face and get ready to go back to their home at 11 o'clock at night. Some, like Susantog (69 years old and out of focus) has not work a part from this show, she has no money enough to rent a room in the city, and lives in the theater.
