Saturday, February 23 at 7:30 PM, Cabrillo Crocker Theater
Aptos, CA Cabrillo College Theatre Arts presents the sixth Annual Evening of 
World Theatre with Wayang Kulit: Traditional Balinese Shadow Theatre,
featuring ShadowLight Productions, Larry Reed and I Made Subandi, on
February 23 at the Cabrillo Crocker Theater at 7:30 PM.
Larry Reed is an internationally acclaimed theatre artist and a trailblazer
in the contemporary shadow theatre field. In 1972, he founded ShadowLight
Productions to nurture indigenous shadow theater traditions, and to explore
and expand the possibilities of the shadow theatre medium. He is one of the
first Westerners to have trained in the traditional Balinese shadow theatre
(Wayang Kulit) and is a ³dalang,² or ³shadow master,² who manipulates over
20 carved leather shadow puppets while simultaneously serving as the
conductor of the accompanying gamelan orchestra. The evening will feature I
Made Subandi, Galmelan Sekar Jaya¹s Master Artist-in-Residence.
Balinese shadow play plots are drawn from the Indian Mahabharata myth cycle,
the great epic of five noble brothers against one hundred jealous cousins in
a struggle for power involving gods, demons, and magical weapons. In
Indonesia, favorite episodes are retold with warmth and affection, and new
ones are improvised daily. These stories give people a chance to see
themselves through the mirror of mythic history: to see the present through
the prism of timeless perspective. The improvisational element of Wayang
Kulit is the main attraction and makes each performance a unique and magical
event. www.shadowlight.org
