“Wayang Kulit” or Shadow Puppet plays are invariably based on romantic tales, especially adaptations of the classic Indian epic, the Mahabharata, and the Ramayana. Some of the plays are also on the local happenings or current issues. The audience sit or stand on the other side of the screen and listen to the dialog which is delivered by the ‘Tok Dalang’, who ranges the tone of his voice to suit the character.
