Wayang Topeng (Indonesia)
by Surakarta Panji Group
Wayang Topeng is a dance drama that uses masks (topeng) and was originally aristocratic entertainment before it become popular as a folk form.
This performance, created by late dance master S.Ngaliman in 1972 is called Fragment of Sekartaji. It is based on a story from the Panji cycle when Dewi Sekartaji, who is betrothed to legendary Javanese hero Raden Panji, is seperated from him.
The scenes depict her state of mind and visions, in which she experiences conflict and emotional turmoil as she faces Prabu Klana Sewandana, the king of Batarangin, who has desires for her.
Enjoys ^^
