HAPPY SALMA

ACTOR, AND THEATRE PERFORMER AND PRODUCER

Starting her career in the Indonesian entertainment industry as a model and an actress, Happy Salma had left an indelible mark both on the small and big screens. She also co-founded Tulola Jewelry in 2008 to further promote various aspects of Indonesian cultures with all of her creative energies. Her heart also went to literature, of which Salma had published four works and collaborated for five more, and theatre. “I co-founded Titimangsa Foundation in 2007. As a theatre producer, I translate a lot of Indonesian literary works onto the stage for everyone to get to know them better,” she said. “In total, Titimangsa has produced 42 theatre works.”

Since July last year, Titimangsa launched the Sandiwara Sastra podcast in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Culture. “So far, we have 10 episodes on budayakita’s channel on Spotify and Youtube and aired through the Radio Republik Indonesia,” she said. However, Salma realized that this medium could not replace the energy between the performer and the audience during a live theatre performance. Titimangsa has also recorded three theatrical performances and musical thus far with each one garnering at least 2,500 audiences.
