Prima Dona
A musical drama about ambition, wounds, and love within a family.
Dona has everything: a brilliant career, the perfect partner, and a social status admired by many. But what happens when it all falls apart in one night? Betrayed by her fiancé, fired from her job, and stripped of her confidence, Dona is forced to rebuild her life from scratch.
In the middle of this crisis, Dona finds new meaning in simplicity, unconditional love, and a relationship she has long neglected: the one with her younger sister, Caca.
Through laughter, tears, and heartfelt songs, PRIMADONA! invites you to explore the pressure of being the “perfect child,” invisible wounds, and the strength to rise again — not for the world, but for yourself.
Can Dona make peace with her past and discover a new, better version of herself?
Serving as the Production Project Manager for Temu Lawak 2025 taught me how much care sits behind a large-scale creative production.
Managing over 100 people across creative, production, and communications was not only about keeping timelines on track, but also about understanding how different teams work, communicate, and bring their own energy into one shared vision.
Through this role, I learned how to lead with structure while still making space for creativity, collaboration, and the occasional chaos that comes with live performance. From creating briefs to coordinating workflows and solving problems along the way, this experience pushed me to become more adaptable, decisive, and attentive as a leader.
More than anything, Temu Lawak 2025 reminded me that a production is built through collaboration, care, and a lot of heart. With a heart full of gratitude, this experience allowed me to nurture my love for storytelling, music, and the performing arts.
