Title :
Shadow – Play Performance :
Trilogy of Women Dalang on July ,17th 2008 at 20 .00 pm at Center of Culture Koesnadi Hardjosumentri at Gadjah Mada University.
Wayang Kulit has had centuries of performance in the folk tradition as well, so that today with several thousand puppeteers active,it is the strongest traditional theatre form in Southtern Asia. In Indonesian word ‘wayang ‘is derived from a word meaning “shadow”or ghost :These intricately cut and perforated shadow puppets are made from “buffalo hide. ‘Kulit” means “leather” or “skin.” Wayang Kulit has a documented history of existance of at least 800 years in the Indonesian archipelago.
The “dhalang “is a highly venerated artist with exceptional power the elements at his command. He is a complete performer who excels in many things. He displays enourmos physical and mental endurance. He is an orator with a prodigious memory who must be able to repeat many lengthy texts word for word but also improvise and entire interlude ranging from ribald jokes to philosophical conversation. He is a scholar of literature and yet keeps himself abreast , not only of national events, but of everday happenings in the district including the latest gossip and scandal. He must know all his figures about one hundred or more their nature and symbolic importances, and have such vocal dexterity as to give each its proper tone and bitch as times creating the ilution of conversation. He deftly composes scenes on the fly all the while paying particular attention to the artistic arrangement of his figure . He poses them instances appropriate to their character and situation and in keeping their relationship to each other. He has to compose and sing songs as well as direct the orchestra that accompanies him. Beside all this, he is a poetplay wright who shares new wisdom in a way that satisfies public taste.
The dhalang is in a complete charge of the performance . A good dhalang may be able to perform as many as two hundred lakon (wayang episodes). In Java he is often revered for his deep understanding of life and his role as a teacher and spiritual guide . Through him, one is initiated into “secret of earthly existence “ and educated in the philosophical and mystical composition of life : the nature of order in the world of cosmic justice, and of the laws of the universe.
A gamelan (orchestra ), using various combination of instrument, is traditionaly and essentially accompaniment to puppet shows, dances, feasts, and ceremonies in Java.
Formerly the shadow play is played by men. In the modern age , women also like playing the shadow play. Now there are women dhalangs although still in a little number. This condition shows that there is a gender justice. Men and women get the same profession as dhalangs.
In the commemoration of 100 years of the women resurgence will be held the shadow play performance . It will be played bye three women dhalangs:women dhalangs come from Indonesia, Nyi Sophia Penicarito and Japan, Hanae Kobayashi and a girl dhalang comes from Indonesia, Ganes Sworo. The shadow play performance is unique because it is the first performance of trilogy.
