An Evening of Balinese Shadow Play: Free Performance | UC Berkeley

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Wayang Bali, the Balinese Shadow Play, is one of the most revered traditional art forms in the world.

Plots for Wayang Bali are drawn from the Mahabharata myth cycle, in which five brothers are pitted against one hundred jealous cousins in a struggle for power involving gods, demons, magical weapons, and the inevitable beautiful princess.

ShadowLight Productions is one of the very few professional shadow theatre companies in the world honoring ancient shadow theater traditions while innovating through the use of contemporary technologies and interdisciplinary approaches. Larry and the Gamelan musicians make it possible for Western audiences to enjoy this classical form of storytelling.
