Wayang Kulit: Memory & Tomorrow

Wayang Kulit: Memory & Tomorrow is a special celebration dedicated to the revival and relevance of Malaysia’s traditional shadow puppetry art.

The programme features a guided gallery tour, a sharing session on the journey of reviving Wayang Kulit, and a dialogue exploring its place in the 21st century. Audiences can also witness student evaluation performances, a certificate presentation ceremony and both traditional and fusion Wayang Kulit performances.

Most activities are free and open to the public. Visitors are invited to experience the craft up close through free public trials and an introduction to the Dalang training programme.
