SUMMARY:Rumput with Balinese shadow puppet master Gusti Sudarta at the Smithsonian
DESCRIPTION:  \nGusti Sudarta with wayang kulit\nWayang kulit (shadow theater) performed by I Gusti Putu Sudarta\, accompanied by live kroncong and gamelan music performed by Rumput and members of  Gamelan Raga Kusuma. \nVisit the Smithsonian Institute’s Freer Gallery of Art events calendar for FREE (but strongly recommended) tickets and contact information. \nSudarta will perform Sutasoma. In this shadow play\, the only child of a royal family rejects the throne and escapes to the forest for a life of Buddhist contemplation. But first he must conquer various ogres in the forest. \nWayang kulit are flat leather puppets made from carved and painted rawhide. The Javanese and Balinese shadow play tradition is at least 1000 years old. It is both a sacred genre and a mass entertainment for local communities. Besides philosophical and religious instruction\, performances include a healthy dose of bawdy humor and manic fight scenes. \nThe performance lasts approximately 75 minutes. Afterwards\, you can meet Sudarta and learn about his puppets. \nI Gusti Putu Sudarta is Faculty and Director of the Theatre Program at the Indonesian Institute of the Arts in Denpasar\, Bali\, Indonesia. Sudarta was born into a family of artists in the village of Bedulu\, Bali\, in 1968. From a young age\, he studied traditional Balinese gamelan music with teachers in his village. He is a prolific musician\, dancer\, composer\, and shadow master\, actively performing at Balinese temple ceremonies\, in academic contexts\, at national cultural festivals\, and on international stages. He has taught frequently as a visiting artist in American and Taiwanese universities.
