Wayang
Kulit or shadow puppet play is one of the
most popular performances in Bali. The figures
of the Wayang Kulit can move and speak manipulated
by a puppeteer or a dalang. It is usually
performed in relation to Balinese religious
ceremonies, such as: three months old of a
baby,
an otonon or 210 days old of baby or a cremation.
It is also held in temple festivals or in
order to sweep away dirt or nyapuleger (only
for those who were born on Tumpek Wayang day)
or simply for entertainment (rame-rame). Now
you have an opportunity to see this old community’s
school in a shadow puppet show while enjoying
your favourite dishes.
