Touring directly from Indonesia, back by popular demand, Cultural Infusion is once again proud to present Dalang (master Shadow Puppeteer) – Sumardi.
Give students a wonderful insight into the myths and legends of Indonesian history and culture! The Wayang Kulit is a theatrical shadow play based on the Hindu folklore ‘The Legend of Ramayana and Mahabharata”. Through intricate shadow puppetry, this traditional art form brings to life the ancestral spirits said to swell inside the puppets. Students are given an opportunity to watch the shadow puppetry from both sides of the screen to experience the magic behind this ancient art form.
Enquire about adding a puppet-making workshop to your booking! Sumardi will guide students to make their own shadow puppets, teaching them the usage of specific characters and colours, as well as their symbolic meanings.
Availability: Sumardi will be touring Australia-wide, including metropolitan and regional areas, from February-October 2025. Enquire to register your interest today!
