Birth Puppet

Regarding the birth culture of puppets, Ir. Sri Mulyono in his symbolism and mysticism in the Puppet (1979), estimate the puppet has existed since Neolithic times, which is approximately 1,500 years before Christ. His opinion was based on the writings Robert von Heine-Geldern Ph.. D, Prehistoric Research in the Netherland Indies (1945) and Prof. writing. K.A.H. Hidding in Indonesian Encyclopedia page 987.The word `puppet 'probably derived from the word` wewayangan', which means shadow. This assumption is consistent with the fact the Wayang performance that uses color, a piece of cloth as a barrier between the puppeteer who plays the puppet, and the audience was behind the curtain. The audience just watched the puppet movements through the shadows falling on the screen. At that time only the wayang accompanied by a simple set of gamelan consist of saron, he argued (a type of flute), and kemanak. Other types of gamelan and singer at that time believed there was still no.For more menjawakan puppet culture, since the early days of the Majapahit Kingdom introduced another puppet story was not berinduk the Book of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata.Since then the story - the story of Panji, the story of the ancestral kings of Majapahit, was introduced as one form of another puppet. Panji story was later used more for show Wayang Beber. Tradition menjawakan puppet story also forwarded by some Islamic scholars, among them by the "Wali Sanga". They began mewayangkan story of the king of Majapahit, among Damarwulan story.Introduction of Islam to Indonesia since the 15th century was also a big influence on the culture of puppets, especially the religious concept of philosophy puppet. At the beginning of the 15th century, the time of the kingdom of Demak, began to use specially shaped oil lamps called blencong the Puppet performances.Since time Kartasura, composing wayang berinduk the Ramayana and Mahabharata increasingly distant from the original. Since the time that the fans get to know the genealogy of wayang puppet characters, including gods figure, which originated from the Prophet Adam. Sisilah it continues to come to the kings of Java. And further, from the well known puppet stories grip. appropriate standards of the story, and the story of the puppet carangan beyond the standard line. Other than that there's more drama called splinter, which was too far out of the story grip.Indeed, because so strong puppet art is rooted in the culture of Indonesia, so there was some confusion between the wayang stories, legends, and history. If the Indians think that the story of Mahabharata and Ramayana actually occurred in the country, regarded Javanese wayang story actually happened on the island of Java.Origins Puppet
