✨ During My First and Last Solo Show’s world premiere season at Campbelltown Arts Centre in September, we were delighted to welcome respected arts commentator Dee Jefferson to attend the performance and write a commissioned response to the production.

💞 Developed since 2022, the work by Natalie Rose received critical acclaim and enthusiastic audience responses throughout its world premiere season.

“It’s very funny; occasionally excruciatingly raw; incredibly tender – and equally irreverent.” — Dee Jefferson

✨ Gather with us for Sampai, Tak Sampai at Powerhouse Parramatta Opening Festival this November. 👣

Sampai, Tak Sampai (to arrive, not to arrive) is a live performance installation by artist Jumaadi and sound designer/composer Michael Toisuta.

Developed between Indonesia and Australia, the work explores migration, displacement and the environment, originally inspired by the Javanese tradition of boyongan where entire communities carry belongings – sometimes whole houses – during relocation. 🏠

Occupying the space between installation and performance, images, objects, bodies, shadows and sound are assembled and transformed before the audience. Across the day, the work continually comes into being, with new images, sounds and relationships taking shape. 🌗🎵

📅 19–21 November 2026
📍 Powerhouse Parramatta, Parramatta NSW
🎟️ Ticketed performances happen throughout the day, with the installation free to experience outside of performance times.

Sampai, Tak Sampai has been supported by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory body, the NSW Government through Create NSW and the Australia-Indonesia Institute operated by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, as well as Playking Foundation.

And perhaps, in some way, it’s for all of us too. ✨💛
