The Changing Art of Wayang Theater

Introduction When I first met Wayang Kulit, my ghostly shape gave me a deep impression. It is amazing how these relatively simple, silhouette puppet theater are so memorable, while the animation is looking for a new stage of incomparable realism. When I studied the research of this topic in detail, I discovered that this ancient Indonesian art was transformed and transformed by the culture it touches. However, at the same time, traditionalists are worried because the popularity of this art form has declined among Indonesians.

The Indonesian puppet show, in particular Javanese, is regarded as a symbol of anthropology, it is regarded as a symbol of the people's identity and national culture, and it has been considered static and basically regarded as "India" or "integration" Signature Recent developments in the Indonesian society of Indonesia coupled with changes in the academic paradigm have brought about "reform" on puppet theater and wow research, as well as on the political, cultural and religious uses and meanings of the Indian society It was.

On 7th November 2003, UNESCO appointed Shadow 's Puppet Show and Wa - hyang, the most famous Indonesian, as a masterpiece of human oral and intangible heritage. Instead, UNESCO requests Indonesians to retain their legacy. Wayang is also an important historical art of Malaysia, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos. Wayang is a traditional shadow painting in Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries. There is no evidence that ancient Indonesia exists in Wow. Early evidence came from the text and archaeological remains of the late first century CE. The origin of Wayang is not yet clear, and three competing theories are proposed.

In Malaysia's animation history, Wayan Krit and traditional literature have great influence on Malaysian animation. Wayang in Malay means "shadow". It is said that shadow play began in Inida, China, Egypt, Southeast Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia), Turkey, Europe. It is said that Wayang kulit is one of the earliest cartoons in Malaysia, as it is the stage of a traditional Malaysian theater combining verbal stories and performing arts. Hassan Muthalib (2003) pointed out that Wayan Krit is the first known example of animation. During the performance, illegal occupants sat behind a white screen, the marks on the screen were bright, and the performers played various stories of folklore literature through dolls and mouth. The doll shadow show on the screen combines the actors' voices like the Chinese shadow art. In fact, the appearance of the animator used on Wayang's critscreen is the one in the early 1926.
