What is Wayang Kulit?
Wayang kulit is a traditional performing arts of puppet-shadow play
found in the cultures of Java, Bali, and Lombok, in Indonesia. In a
wayang kulit performance, the puppet figures are rear-projected on
a taut linen screen with a coconut-oil (or electric) light. The Dalang
(shadow artist) manipulates carved leather figures between the
lamp and the screen to bring the shadows to life.
The sticks attached to the base and articulated limbs of the wayang
kulit are made from water buffalo horn and / or wood. Making the
puppet sticks from horn involves a complicated process of sawing,
heating, hand-molding, and sanding until the desired effect is
achieved. When the rest of the puppet is ready, the artist attaches
the handle by carefully and precisely molding the ends of the horn
around the individual wayang figure and it is secured with a needle
and thread.
