Based on ethnographic fieldwork spanning twenty years, Power Plays is the first scholarly book in English on wayang golek, the Sundanese rod-puppet theater of West Java. It is a detailed and lively account of the ways in which performers of this major Asian theatrical form have engaged with political discourses in Indonesia. Wayang golek has shaped, as well, the technological and commercial conditions of art and performance in a modernizing society.Using interviews with performers, musical transcriptions, translations of narrative and song texts, and archival materials, author Andrew N. Weintraub analyzes the shifting and flexible nature of a set of performance practices called Padalangan, the art of the puppeteer. He focuses on “superstar” performers and the musical troupes that...

Shadow puppet plays known as wayang kulit are popular not only in Bali but throughout Indonesia.

Volume 14 in the Smithsonian Folkways Music of Indonesia series focuses on three lesser-known forms of Indonesian gamelan orchestras and wayang shadow puppet theater.

A thirty-minute gamelan overture to the wayang kulit Banjar is (shadow puppet theater) is followed by music from the same... Less

Javanese gamelan is perhaps one of the better exposed, and most stereotypically exotic, of the various traditional musics available. This collection of gamelan attempts to expose a number of smaller regional styles and the like. The album starts with a piece from the wayang kulit shadow play repertoire before moving into an item associated with the Bedaya trance dances. A small Italian gamelan group takes a turn, followed soon after by a particular old three-note melody. Some vocal accompaniment continues the variety, as well as a couple of ceremonial numbers. One of the most interesting items here is the percussive Goa Tabuhan, played on a series of stone stalagmites and stalactites within a singing cave near Surakarta. There are plenty of gamelan albums out there, some better than... Less

All of those who are interested in contemporary Indonesian society, its organization and social and political articulation, sooner or later come to realize that in order to achieve any real depth of understanding for these phenomena it is first necessary to appreciate the enduring and frequently manifest residuum of traditional, pre-Western culture in Indonesia. Certainly this is true with respect to Java, whose culture has of course had an impact far beyond the shores of that island. In many cases these legacies of traditional culture help to explain current phenomena; in addition they make much more understandable the Javanese approach to religion-not only to Islam but also to Hinduism and Buddhism, which were introduced to the island earlier. For they have conditioned the way in which... Less

The shadow play generally lasts all night. In this case, bronze keys suspended over bamboo tube resonators, which provide the musical background, are reinforced by a few small gongs and drums. Intrigue, romance, battles, comedy, wisdom, and mystic symbolism all have their place in the performance. The music, in its range of expressiveness, balance of form, and economy of means, has all the hallmarks of the abstract and fully realized sound architecture that characterizes a classical style. The compositions recorded here represent some of the principal pieces that might be heard in a typical play. Gendér Wayang from Teges Kanyinan, Pliatan, Bali. Recorded in Bali by Robert E. Brown. Originally released in 1970.
