Jakarta Art House is one of the most exciting names to watch in Indonesia’s growing musical theatre scene. What began as a deeply personal story has now evolved into a community-driven artistic force, with bold productions, inclusive casting, and a purpose that goes far beyond applause. The community, founded by Elhaq Latief and co-founded by Fadli Hafizan, Aldy Inzaghi, and Dinda Leisa Reideka, serves as a space for performing arts with social consciousness at its core.
Meet Jakarta Art House — one of the most exciting names in Indonesia’s musical theatre scene. More than just entertainment, their stage gives life to stories that matter.

Jakarta Art House aims to become a platform where performance meets empathy. Their productions don’t just entertain—they provoke thought, raise awareness, and spotlight social issues often neglected in mainstream narratives. At a time when representation and dialogue matter more than ever, JKT Art House places inclusivity at its core. In their casts and crews, you’ll find people from all walks of life, hijabi performers, various body types, beginners and seasoned artists alike. For them, passion is the only requirement.
Their next big project is a much-anticipated re-run of Mamma Mia! The Musical, scheduled for 21 May to 1 June at Graha Bhakti Budaya, Jakarta. This encore performance is not only for those who missed the first run—but also for those who wish to relive the experience.
Looking ahead, JKT Art House has even bigger dreams, adapting stories from local filmmakers, creating original musicals inspired by Indonesian music, and continuing to make theatre more accessible, diverse, and socially relevant. It’s clear that this isn’t just a phase or a passion project—it’s a growing movement in the performing arts, led by artists who believe that theatre should move people, not just entertain them. Jakarta Art House is more than just a stage. It’s a reminder that art, at its best, is also a form of activism—and that every story deserves a spotlight.
