Wayang Kulit

Wayang Kulit is a traditional form of Indonesian shadow puppetry that combines storytelling, music, and artistry. It involves intricately crafted puppets made from leather, which are manipulated behind a lit screen to cast shadows. The performances often depict stories from ancient epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, highlighting moral lessons and cultural values. Skilled puppeteers not only control the puppets but also voice the characters and play accompanying music, creating a rich, immersive experience for the audience. Wayang Kulit serves as both entertainment and a means of preserving cultural heritage in Indonesia.
