In the photos uploaded on Instagram, the candidate for president number 3 is seen wearing a white shirt. He paired it with cream-colored pants. Siti Atikoh Supriyanti's husband is seen enjoying the art performance held at Taman Budaya Yogyakarta on Wednesday night, January 24, 2024.

He sat on a chair, mingling with the other audience members. In the photo uploaded to Instagram, Ganjar was seen smiling while watching the performance of the play "Musuh Bebuyutan". Ganjar also took a photo together with the cast of the show. Besides Butet, comedian Cak Lontong and Akbar were also seen participating in the performance.

"Enough with the drama on stage. In the real world, let there be no lies between us," wrote Ganjar, providing captions for his uploaded photos. He congratulated all the artists involved in the performance, including Butet, Cak Lontong, Agus Noor, and others. "Thank you for being the examiner of the situation with your works. Great job," added Ganjar.

"Senyampang being in Yogya, last night with my ex-girlfriend, I watched a performing arts show at Taman Budaya Yogyakarta :), " wrote Mahfud on Instagram. Mahfud also uploaded several photos of the moment watching the show on Instagram. He wore a green batik shirt, the same one he wore when declared as a vice presidential candidate."

"Dan, seperti biasa, pentas 'Indonesia Kita' garapan Butet Kartaredjasa dan teman-teman, selalu menghibur karena penuh satir, jenaka, juga sarat kritik sosial," tulis Mahfud. Lakon 'Musuh Bebuyutan' yang disutradarai Agus Noor, kata Mahfud, berkisah tentang pemilihan lurah di sebuah kampung. Kisah ini memotret kondisi keseharian masyarakat, kehidupan bertetangga, yang kerap berselisih hanya karena perbedaan pandangan politik."

"Truly a people's stage, people's style, people's jokes, and of course there are also typical people's criticisms and even mockery," he wrote. Mahfud said that anyone who receives criticism, including himself, should not take it to heart."

For him, all criticisms and people's sarcasm become reminders and guardians of enduring values and norms among society. Like Ganjar, Mahfud also congratulated the artists in the performance, starting from Butet, Yu Ningsih, Marwoto, Susilo Nugroho, Cak Lontong, Akbar, Oppie Andaresta, Inaya Wahid, Bonita, Wisben, Joned, and even Joind Bayuwinanda.
