The Art of Wayang28-7-15
Wayang is Indonesian Shadow Puppetry. The most beautiful form of puppetry according to many scholars. It was created in Indonesia around the 8th century. The puppets are made out of paper, leather with wood and metal rods and traditionally bound together with wax. The puppets perform in front of bamboo paper sheets or muslin and perform by candlelight or lanterns for a warm glow. Even today, traditional electricity is not used in Wayang- as it’s considered disrespectful to the art form.
