Wayang

Wayang is a traditional Indonesian form of puppet theater that uses intricately carved leather or wooden puppets to tell stories, often drawn from Hindu epics or local legends. Performed with live gamelan music and expressive narration, it showcases storytelling, dance, and music in a highly artistic and cultural setting. The puppets are projected onto a screen, allowing audiences to experience a blend of visual artistry and oral tradition. Wayang serves as both entertainment and spiritual practice, preserving history, morals, and cultural values through generations.
