Wayang Klitik is a traditional Indonesian puppet theater art form originating from Java. It is a variant of the broader wayang puppet traditions, characterized by its flat wooden puppets, unlike the more commonly known wayang kulit, which uses leather shadow puppets. The puppets in wayang klitik are intricately carved and painted, allowing for detailed visual storytelling.
Wayang Klitik performances typically depict stories from the Javanese and Hindu-Buddhist epics, such as the Ramayana and Mahabharata, as well as local legends and folklore. The puppeteer, known as a dalang, manipulates the puppets while narrating the story, often accompanied by a traditional gamelan orchestra.
The term "klitik" refers to the distinctive clicking sound the wooden puppets make when they are moved and struck together during performances. This form of wayang offers a rich cultural experience, blending elements of drama, music, and visual art to convey moral lessons and entertain audiences.
