I see no fleabites, cracks or chips * Wayang (Javanese for ‘shadow’ and ‘imagination’) is a traditional form of puppet theatre originally found in the cultures of Java, Indonesia, in which a story is told through shadows thrown by puppets. This art form celebrates Indonesian culture and artistic talent. Its origins are traced to the spread of Hinduism in the medieval era as well as to the arrival of leather-based puppet arts called thalubomalata from southern India. Wayang refers to the entire dramatic show, although the leather puppet itself is referred to as wayang. In Java, the stories are accompanied by a gamelan orchestra. They depict mythologies, such as episodes from the Hindu epics the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, as well as local adaptations of cultural legends.
