Wayang Kulit
Mirror of the Javanese society
On warm evenings in many places a traditional and centuries old ritual is happening in Central Java. Tempted by the sounds of the gamelan young and old come together to be enchanted by heroes from a far past, which move as shadows on a white cloth. Unto deep in the night the public is attracted by the wayang kulitplay, in which exciting stories are changed with jokes from the daily life.
