What you can expect

Held regularly at the Wayang Orang Sriwedari Theatre within the Taman Sriwedari complex, this performance is a living cultural heritage that has been preserved since 1911.

    Wayang Orang Sriwedari presents a unique form of traditional theatre, where human performers portray iconic wayang characters with detailed makeup and elaborate costumes, closely resembling their original figures. Each show combines elements of drama, classical dance, and live gamelan music into a captivating and harmonious performance.

    The stories are drawn from the great epics of the Mahabharata and Ramayana, enriched by the presence of Punakawan characters who bring humour and local wisdom, making the performance both engaging and accessible to all audiences.
