(Photo by Katie Gardner) Gardner) Shadow puppet performances havebeen a highly-refined and complex sto-rytelling tradition in parts of Indonesiafor hundreds of years. Known as wayangkulit, these flat puppets are cut andpunched from water buffalo hide andthen colorfully painted, usually on bothsides. Sticks or handles made from waterbuffalo horn or wood, attached to thebase and limbs of each puppet, enable itto come to life in the hands of the dha-lang, or puppeteer, who sits behind a cot-ton screen and manipulates the puppetswhile narrating a story. This intimate installation in the Muse-um’s Theater Gallery will feature approx-imately 30 puppets, which depict the vastrepertoire of heroes and heroines,demons and pranksters featured in thegreat Hindu epics, the Mahābhārata andRāmāyaṇa, as well as local gods andmythical subjects. Puppet performancesprovide entertainment, a sense of com-munity, as well as an opportunity forsacred and secular instruction. Tradition-al performances are always accompaniedby a gamelan, a musical ensemble com-prised of gongs, drums, xylophones andstringed instruments.
