Shadows, Epic Tales: Wayang Kulit of Indonesia»
Ongoing In the Bartlett Wing through March 14, 2010
 Wayang
kulit (shadow puppet) are flat, leather puppets elaborately decorated and
perforated, casting intricate and dramatic shadows when performed. Featuring the
extraordinary collection of the Museum of International Folk Art, performance
video projected on a double-sided screen to highlight both the shadows and the
action of the dhalang (puppeteer), and exciting interactive and hands-on
components, this exhibition introduces wayang kulit of Central Java. Various aspects
of this performance art are explored, including gamelan music, the artistic techniques
involved in making shadow puppets, the skills of the dhalang (puppeteer),
regional variations, and the cultural context of wayang kulit. (Photo, right:
