Wayang Kulit

Wayang kulit is performance art that have more than half a millennium. Appearance has its own story, related to the entry of Javanese Islam. One member of the Wali Songo created by adopting Wayang Beber is developed in the heyday of Hindu-Buddhist. The adoption was done because wayang already attached to the Javanese to become the right medium for disseminating propaganda of Islam, while Islam forbids visual art form. As a result, created shadow wayang kulit where people can only see shadows.


Stories told in the wayang performance usually comes from the Mahabharata and the Ramayana.
Wayang show in every country has its own technique and style, thus wayang is made in Indonesia Indonesian people who have a genuine story, style and extraordinary puppeteer.
Puppet known since prehistoric times of about 1500 years before Christ. Indonesian society held belief [pagan] worship of ancestral spirits called or dahyang hyang, manifested in the form of [the statue] or image.




Wayang is the Indonesian traditional art developed primarily in Java and Bali. Wayang show has been recognized by 
UNESCO on November 7, 2003, as a work of amazing cultural stories in narrative and beautiful heritage and valuable (Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity).


There is a family of characters in Javanese wayang called 
Punakawan; they are sometimes referred to as "clown-servants" because they normally are associated with the story's hero, and provide humorous and philosophical interludes. Semar is the father of Gareng(oldest son), Petruk, and Bagong (youngest son). These characters did not originate in the Hindu epics, but were added later, possibly to introduce mystical aspects of Islam into the Hindu-Javanese stories. They provide something akin to a political cabaret, dealing with gossip and contemporary affairs.



The puppets figures themselves vary from place to place. In 
Central Java the city ofSurakarta (Solo) is most famous and is the most commonly imitated style of puppets. Regional styles of shadow puppets can also be found in West JavaBanyumasCirebon,Semarang, and East Java. Bali produces more compact and naturalistic figures, and Lombok has figures representing real people. Often modern-world objects as bicycles, automobiles, airplanes and ships will be added for comic effect, but for the most part the traditional puppet designs have changed little in the last 300 years.
