Wayang (“shadow”) Kulit (“skin”) are flat leather puppets made from carved and painted rawhide. The shadow play tradition, as it is performed on the islands of Java and Bali in Indonesia, is at least 1000 years old and has historical connections to forms known in India. I Gusti Putu Sudarta will perform the tale of Sutasoma, a prince and reincarnation of the Buddha in human form. This performance will be presented in a mixture of English, Indonesian, Balinese and the ancient Kawi liturgical language. Gamelan Giri Murti at Wake Forest will play in the lobby beginning at 2:30 pm. Additional sponsorship from IPLACe, the WFU Museum of Anthropology, and the Global Affairs Fund for International Scholars.
