Wayang kulit or shadow puppet theater - Performances of shadow puppet theater are accompanied by gamelan in Indonesia. .Shadow puppets are a play of marionettes that dance and move about to tell a story on a blank screen through the movement†of shadows, or bayan, and the movement of the†puppets themselves.†The dalang or†puppeteer, who is often in a trance-like state, is the mythic storyteller and believed to be divinely inspired with 'sakti' or magical power which gives him the ability to tell stories of significance which often†recount the eternal struggle between good and evil. UNESCO designated Wayang Kulit as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity in 2003.

Cambodian shadow theater has a long history, dating back over a thousand years to early Angkorian times. It is one of the most revered and loved art forms in the country, but, like many other cultural traditions, was nearly destroyed in the 1970's during the tyrannical reign of the Khmer Rouge. Efforts are being made to recover the lost history of shadow theater and bring it back to its former glory and popularity. Shadow puppets are traditionally made in the region of Siem Reap, the location of Angkor Wat. Cow skin is cured and stretched out on a frame to dry for about 2 weeks. For this reason, shadow puppets can only be made during the dry season.
