Traditional Indonesian shadow theater wayang in the context of modern era
Hankeová, Kateřina ; Petrů, Tomáš (advisor) ; Pokorný, Ondřej (referee)
This thesis is dedicated to traditional Indonesian wayang theater and its change in modern times. The goal is to describe this change and appraise the actual state of this ancient theater, which deals mainly with traditional epics and thus, very old views of the world, emotions and life itself. Wayang gives us a very valuable insight to the past, and points out the timelessness of human feelings and desires. How do people in the modern globalising world and in a society where Islam is becoming increasingly radical, perceive the tradition of wayang? In the first part I focus on the description of puppets, its characters, dalang, repertoire of the theater, course of the performance, its cultural-religious context, rituals connected with the theater, music accompanying the performance and also the scene itself. In the second part I focus on the summary of answers, results and analysis of the research from local inhabitants' perception of wayang theater. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
