Acknowledged by UNESCO as the Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, Wayang Kulit or Shadow Puppet is one of the most renowned performance arts. The intriguing play combines an epic storyline with instrumental melodies. The characters are portrayed by leather puppets; the whole show is seen through the shadows that are projected into the wall by light. Complex technicalities combined with traditional narratives generate a mystical and spiritual feel into the stage. Wayang Kulit’s amazing show lies in the brilliant performance of the Dalang (puppet master). The Dalang narrates the whole story, provides voices for all characters, and entertains through songs and jokes. Shadow Puppet is truly a sight to watch.
