Wayang Kulit is a traditional shadow puppet show. The flat two-dimensional puppets are
intricately carved out of cow or buffalo hide, then painted by hand and mounted on bamboo
sticks. Each puppet has jointed "arms" and is manipulated behind a white cloth screen with
a source of light to cast shadows. The play is conducted by a singular master storyteller
(called Tok Dalang) who tells the story and speaks the part of each puppet. Wayang kulit
usually dramatises ancient Indian epics
