ShadowPlay – wayang kulit shadow puppets of Indonesia
An extensive set of wayang kulit / shadow puppets has been in New Zealand for over forty years, together with an antique gamelan music ensemble known as ‘The First Smile’ from Cirebon in West Java. These beautiful and intricate pieces will be on display together in this exhibition, curated by 10th generation dhalang / puppeteer Joko Susilo, who will also perform a wayang play in the Festival of the Elements on 6 February.
