This research elaborates on aging narratives of an elder woman theatre performer. Sugiyati's autobiographical narratives discuss her aging experience as a woman theatre performer of Studiklub Teater Bandung (STB). STB is known to be the oldest modern theatre in Indonesia. Sugiyati's narratives comprise her collection of writing about her life related to stage and performance issues. In these collections, Sugiyati narrates the complication of embodying expectations of age-appropriate roles on stage and maintaining an authentic sense of self offstage. Using the framework of performativity theory and aging as a fluid construct contextualized by a woman theatre performer, this article investigates how the complexity of performative aspects of aging are negotiated between personal agency and constructed narratives of aging shaped by the societal norms within theatre performance. Sugiyati’s narratives of aging reflect the constant insecurity regarding embodiment due to the stage expectations of the female ideal bodies.
