    The Wayang Kulit (wayang-play, shadow, ghost, or puppet; Kulit-leather or skin) is a shadow play with

    two-dimensional leather puppets. Wayang Kulit play originated from two epic stories, the Ramayana
    and the Mahabharata. This is mounted in the center of two long rows of banana trunks. The dalang, the
    puppets, the lights, and the gamelan orchestra, placed at the back of the cloth, complete the elements
    of the Wayang Kulit.

    Puppet

    The two-dimensional puppets are certainly the highlights during a wayang kulit performance. Each
    puppet is a unique Indonesian artwork.

    Dalang

    The dalang, the manipulator-narrator, sits cross-legged at the back of the screen or cloth (kelir). The
    Dalang gives the movement and voice to the puppets, which correspond to the actors, and also provides
    a signal to the orchestra that accompanies the play.

    Musician

    The musicians play a significant role in the gamelan performance. They accompany the dalang in
    delivering the play. The dalang signals the musicians if music is needed in the scene.

    Lights

    Lights may be in the form of using a traditional open coconut oil lamp (damar) or an electric bulb that
    serves light behind the white screen to give shadow to the puppet.

    Wayang Wong or Wayang Orang

    The performers act in the roles of puppets on the stage. This is considered one of the major Asian
    classical dance-drama forms of theater.

    Wayang Golek

    The puppets are shaped like wooden dolls with rounded heads and arms. This is an imitation of a human
    actor who imitates a puppet. These are dressed in traditional costumes. This play is famous in the area
    of the Sundanese people (West Java)

    Wayang Topeng or Wayang Gedong


    This is different from the other plays because of its focus on the story, which narrates the activities of
    noblemen who lived in East Asia. This is performed by men who wear masks referred to as topeng. The
    Balinese Wayang uses puppets like the one from East and Central Java which are also leather cutouts.
    The Wayang Wong and Wayang Topeng are very popular in Bali.

    Wayang Klitik

    The wooden puppets are flat, carved in shallow relief, and painted, not dressed. The arms are made of
    parchment.

    Nang Yai is a form of shadow play in Thailand. Nang means “skin,” and Nang Yai means “large shadow
    puppet.” The puppets are made from buffalo or cow skin. Singing through chant is used for narrating a
    story.

    This is performed in open spaces like a lawn or village. Like the Indonesian Wayang Kulit, the Nang Yai
    has the following: white screen, bonfire light, Thai music band, dubber, and puppets.
