culture360 Media Partnership | Not-Yet Performance Festival
culture360.ASEF.org is delighted to be the media partner of the Festival Pertunjukan Belum-Sudah / Not-Yet Performance Festival, opening to the public from 25 - 31 July 2025 across various venues in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.
Organised by Garasi Performance Institute (GPI), the festival's theme of "Gelagat Liar" (Wild Gestures) attempts to read, sense, observe and carefully trace the various decolonial gestures that emerge within the realm of performance.
“Belum-Sudah (Not-Yet) is a declaration of commitment to exploring the entangled strands of border thinking and doing — critical, dialectical, and reparative in our present time. - Garasi Performance Institute’s Co-Artistic Director, Eka Putra Nggalu
The festival marks a milestone in GPI's journey since 2017. More than just an event, this festival is a forum and meeting space where diverse ideas, bodies, and social contexts intersect and are tested collectively.
A total of nine performances by artists and collectives from various backgrounds across Banda Aceh, Jakarta, Madura, Makassar, Surabaya and Yogyakarta will be presented. In addition, the festival also includes ten symposiums, designed to broaden alternative worlds offered by performance, through two approaches: thinking with performance and reparative reading.
"This festival is more about creating a space to grow and evolve together; to keep exploring potentials and possibilities. perhaps never fully complete, but deeply felt and meaningful”. - Festival Curators, Mega Nur and Taufik Darwis
This festival is part of GPI’s ongoing commitment to fostering an exchange of ideas and performance practices rooted in Indonesia’s socio-cultural context and the dynamics of the Global South.
