that uses intricately carved puppets to act out stories.

SIGNIFICANCE AND RITUALS

Spiritual Connection: Wayang Kulit is often seen as a bridge between the human
world and the spirit world. Performances are sometimes used to communicate with
ancestors or seek blessings and protection. The puppeteer, known as the dalang, is
considered a spiritual guide who understands these connections.

Rituals Before the Show: Important preparations and rituals are done before a
Wayang Kulit show, especially during religious ceremonies, harvest festivals, or
celebrations. The dalang may say prayers, make offerings, and bless the puppets to
bring positive energy and ensure a successful performance.

WAYANG KULIT
Wayang Kulit is a traditional shadow puppet theater from
Indonesia, especially popular in Java and Bali. In Wayang
Kulit, flat leather puppets are intricately carved and
painted, then held up behind a lit screen to cast shadows.
The puppeteer, called the dalang, moves the puppets and
tells the story, making the characters come to life with
voices, music, and sound effects.

Wayang Kulit is more than just a show; it’s a way for


Indonesians to pass down stories, teach moral values, and
connect with their culture and spirituality.

WAYANG GOLEK IN SUNDA
Wayang Golek is a traditional wooden puppet theater
from the Sundanese culture in West Java, Indonesia.

shadows, Wayang Golek uses three-dimensional wooden
puppets that are carved, painted, and dressed in colorful
costumes.

instruments like gongs and drums to add excitement to

values, and history alive.
