Uong Jowo June 02, 2011 2



Wayang golek is a traditional form of puppetry from Sunda. Unlike the better-known leather shadow puppets (wayang kulit) found in the rest of Java and Bali, wayang golek puppets are made from wood and are three-dimensional, rather than two. They use a banana palm in which the puppets stand, behind which one puppeteer (dalang) is accompanied by his gamelan orchestra with up to 20 musicians. The gamelan uses a five-note scale as opposed to the seven-note western scale.

The musicians are guided by the drummer, who in turn is guided by signals from the puppet master dalang gives to change the mood or pace required. Wayang golek are used by the Sundanese to tell the epic play "Mahabarata" and various other morality type plays.

  1. Wayang adalah salah-satu karya seni dari Indonesia. Wayang yang saya ketahui ada jenis wayang golek, wayang kulit, wayang orang, dan sebagainya. Kita patut berbangga memiliki seni budaya wayang ini.
