Angga Kusuma (Indonesia / Based in Dumai)

Angga Kusuma (Contor) is a theatre-maker and performance researcher from Dumai, a port city on the coast of Sumatra, Indonesia. His practice investigates how everyday rituals and overlooked spaces—a security post, a coffee stall, a riverbank—become unofficial stages for power, memory, and absurdity. Rooted in his experience of growing up on the periphery, his work constantly asks: what unseen performances uphold our social reality?

Using methods of site-specific performance and performative ethnography, he deconstructs the languages of the body born from boredom, waiting, and unspoken social tensions. He is interested in creating dialogues between peripheries, bringing his lens from a Sumatran port city to explore and resonate with the unique social landscapes of other non-central regions, seeking the universal truths hidden in local specificities.

OUT OF BLUE / Jaeeun Kim (South Korea / Based in Seoul)

I’m a Korean actor and multidisciplinary artist working across video, poetry, music, and performance.

My work focuses on subtle emotional dynamics, fragile relationships, and the quiet spaces between people and places, through which I explore emotion, scene, and the ecology of human connection.

Across all forms of practice, I aim to invite reflection rather than explanation.
