Samson

Innocent little Samson lives in a tropical paradise, singing to himself while simmering his rendang. One day, he decides to venture outside of Samson Island for the first time.

As he travels through the Samson Archipelago, Samson meets characters of Indonesian and Malay lore, like Kuntilanak (Vampire), Harimau Jadian (Weretiger) and Duyung (Mermaid).

From creator-performer Shannan Tamby Lim (Melbourne Fringe Winner), director Ben Volchok (Adelaide Fringe Winner) and dramaturg Laura Trenerry (Melbourne, Adelaide Fringe Winner).

'Merantau' is the Minangkabau tradition of journeying from your homeland as a rite of passage.

Part of Melbourne Fringe Festival.
