Stories told through light, shadow and movement.
Contemporary Shadow Theatre
EXPLORE PROGRAMME
We are a contemporary shadow theatre based in Jakarta. Drawing from the traditions of wayang kulit, the theatre presents a programme of performances, festivals and installations that reimagine shadow as a living medium.

ABOUT
FROM SHADOW TO STAGE
Through masks, puppets, movement, sound and light, ancient stories meet contemporary forms of storytelling. Inspired by the Ramayana and Mahabharata, we explore how cultural heritage can be preserved, transformed and experienced today.
