People in many cultures love theatre. One of the oldest and greatest storytelling 1 in the world can be seen in theatres in Indonesia. It is a kind of shadow puppet show (皮影戏) called Wayang Kulit. Wayang is a kind of leather and kulit 2 puppet.
In a Wayang Kulit show, the stage and the equipment are quite simple—not like 3 theatres! There are puppets, musicians, a puppeteer and a screen made from a white sheet.
Wayang Kulit puppets are flat and made of leather, and they come in big and small sizes. They have different eyes, noses and mouths, so they all look very different—just like people! Each puppet plays a different 4 in a story. Some characters are good and some are bad. Puppets, which are painted in bright colours, are sometimes used for daytime puppet shows.
A.noise B.last C. voice D.famous E. appear
For each show, there is only one puppeteer. He moves the puppets, tells the story, and does the 5 for each puppet. Puppeteers are amazing because there are sometimes between 100 and 500 puppets for him to move in one show! This is a very special job and it is not easy. Good puppeteers are very 6 in Indonesia, and sometimes more than 6,000 people come to see the show.
In a Wayang Kulit show, the puppeteer sits behind a white screen. A lamp or light is shone onto the screen, so the puppets look like dark shadows. Each puppet has three sticks attached to it: one on the body and one on each arm. The puppeteer moves the puppet with these sticks. Usually, good characters 7 on the right side of the screen, and bad characters on the left side.
One of the most amazing things about the Wayang Kulit, is that a show can 8 all night, even up to ten hours! The puppeteer and musicians are going to be tired after each show!
