Wayang sebagai icon Indonesia

Wayang sebagai icon Indonesia.

Wayang is a Javanese word for particular kinds of theatre (literally "theatre" or sometimes "puppet"). When the term is used to refer to kinds of puppet theatre, sometimes the puppet itself is referred to as wayang. Performances of shadow puppet theatre are accompanied by gamelan in Java, and by gender wayang in Bali.

The term 'wayang' is also colloquially used in southeast Asian societies (namely Singapore) to describe pretentious, fake or deceptive public relation events primarily in the political scene (such as carefully stage-managed meetings between politicians and common citizens, or consultation processes suggesting democratic governance when decisions have been already made behind closed doors).
UNESCO designated Wayang Kulit, a shadow puppet theatre and the best known of the Indonesian wayang, as a Masterpiece of Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity on 7 November 2003. In return for the acknowledgment, UNESCO required Indonesians to preserve their heritage
