English: Wayang is a traditional puppet show from Indonesia. The word ‘wayang’ predictably came from the word ‘wewayangan’ which means shadows. This prediction fit to the fact that in every performance of leather puppet, is using kelir (thin fabric), as a border between the puppeteer (dalang) who play the puppets and the audience. Audiences only watch the puppets movements through the shadows in the kelir.
