In addition to enriching local culture and art treasures, it is also a manifestation of the creativity of artists. "Maybe tens of years into the future creation of this new art will be developed if the community is also tradition" says Pandu. Furthermore Pandu also said that currently Indonesia's traditional arts are in danger of intellectual property recognized by other countries as well as original art, as is the case Angklung, and the last song Rasa Sayange Reog Ponorogo claimed by Malaysia.

"The government should provide protection against Singkil Traditional Indonesian Art.

Art History puppet

2011-01-02T06:13:00.000-08:00

Puppet, is one of the oldest traditional theater. In the reign of King Balitung, has no hint of puppet show, which is contained in the inscription Balitung with the year AD 907, who proclaim that it has been known at the time the puppet show.

A copper plate inscription from Central Java; Royal Tropical Institute, Amsterdam, examples of this inscription can be seen in Appendix Claire Holt book Art in Indonesia: Continuities and Changes, 1967 Prof.Dr.Soedarsono translation (MSPI-2000-p. 431).

Written as follows:

Issued on behalf of King Pacific Islands Sangsang text is about the village, which is marked as a fief, whose implementation is addressed to the god of the porch in Dalinan. Again after paint and decorate themselves with flowers, the participants sat in a tent overlooking the Sang Hyang Kudur celebration. "For the safety of sacred buildings and the people" show (spectacle) disakilan. Sang Hyang Tangkil the (mamidu), the Nalu intone (macarita) Bhima Kumara, and dancing (mangigal) as Kicaka; Jaluk intone the Ramayana; the Mungmuk acting (mamirus) and droll (mebanol), the Galigi perform Wayang (mawayang) for the Gods, intone Bhimaya Kumara.

The importance of this text lies in a clear indication that at the beginning of the 10th century, the episodes from the Mahabharata and Ramayana sung in rhythm in ritual events. Kumara Bhimaya probably a story that relates to the Milky probably has performed as a shadow theater (now: puppet prototype). Where the origin of puppets, is still disputed, because of lack of evidence to support it. Some believe that the original puppet of Javanese culture, saying because the terms are used in many expressions of Javanese wayang.

Dr.GAJHazeu, in detertasinya Bijdrage tot de Kennis van het Javaansche Tooneel (Th 1897 in Leiden, The Netherlands) believes that the puppet show comes from the original art of Java. This can be seen from the terms used by many using the Java language for example, color, blencong, mobile, kepyak, puppet. In the arrangement of a traditional house in Java, we will usually find the parts of the room: patio, pendhapa, Omah buri, gandhok senthong and room for pertujukan ringgit (pringgitan), in Javanese wayang ringgit means. For the Javanese in building rumahpun provide a place for puppet performances. In the book Over de Oorsprong van het Java-ansche Tooneel - Dr.W Rassers said that, Java is not a puppet show in the original creation of the Javanese. In Javanese puppet show, an imitation of what already exists in India. In India also were performing a shadow puppet show is similar to Java.

Dr.N.J. Krom same opinion with Dr. W. Rassers, who said the puppet show at Java the same as what's in the West Indies, so he guessed that the puppet is the creation of Hindu and Javanese. There is also a researcher and author of other books that say that the puppet came from India, and even some who say the Chinese. In the book Chineesche Brauche und Spiele in Europa - Prof G. Schlegel writes, that in ancient Chinese culture there is a kind of puppet performances.

In the reign Kaizar Wu Ti, circa 140 BC, there is a kind of shadow show puppet. Then the show was spread to India and then from India to Indonesia. To reinforce this, in Studien Koloniale magazine, a writer suggests the existence of similarities between the Chinese word Wa-Well (Hokian), Wo-yong (Cantonese), Woying (Mandarin), meaning that the show of shadows, which together with the puppet in the language Java.

While in Indonesia, people often say that the original puppets from Java / Indonesia, but must explain what the original material or form of wayang puppets and how the puppet stories. The question is, why the leather puppet show, generally always took the stories from the epics Ramayana and Mahabharata? In his paper Attempt at a historical outline of the shadow theater Jacques Brunet, (Kuala Lumpur, 27-30 August 1969), says, it is difficult to refute or reject the notion that puppet theater is located in Southeast Asia originated from India, especially concerning the source of the story. Paper mentioned above tries to explain that the puppet has many similarities there are in Asia, especially Southeast Asia bound by the same stories are sourced from the Ramayana and Mahabharata from India. The history of the spread of puppets from India to the West to the Middle East and to the east in general up to Southeast Asia.

In the Middle East, called Karagheuz, in Thailand called Nang Nang Yai & Talun, on the Cambodia-called Nang Nang Sbek & Koloun. From Thailand to Malaysia called Wayang Siam. While that directly from India to Indonesia called Wayang Kulit Purwa. From Indonesia to Malaysia called Javanese Wayang. In Malaysia there are 2 types the name of the puppet, the Wayang Java (from Java) and the Wayang Siam came from Thailand.

The 4th century Hindu people come to Indonesia, especially the merchant. On the occasion, Hindus bring his teachings with the Vedas and the epics of India's great story Mahabharata and Ramayana in Sanskrit. The 9th century, with stories emerging in the form of an ancient Javanese language kakawin stories sourced from the Mahabharata or Ramayana, which has been adapted into stories that shaped kakawin, such stories as: Arjunawiwaha professor Kanwa essay, essay Bharatayuda Sedah professor and professor Panuluh , Kresnayana essay Triguna professor, professor Panuluh Gatotkaca Sraya essay and others. In its time, all these stories come from the Mahabharata story, which is then adapted according to the history of his time and also adapted to fairy tales and legends and local folklore. In recognizing the puppet, we can approach it in terms of literature, since the story primarily served in the puppet shadow play is generally always taken from the epic Mahabharata or Ramayana. The second story, if we trace the source of the story comes from India. Viyasa essay comes from the Mahabharata, while the Epic Ramayana written by Valmiki.

This reinforced the fact that the puppet stories contained in Asia, especially in Southeast Asia generally use the source of the story of Ramayana and Mahabharata from India. The stories are usually presented in a puppet, is actually an adaptation of the epic Ramayana and Mahabharata are tailored to local folklore or fairy tales. Historically leather puppet show is always associated with a ceremony, for example, for the purposes of circumcision ceremony, the village clean, get rid of misfortune and danger. This is very close to the habits and customs of the local.

In tracing since when there are performances of wayang in Java, we can find a variety of inscriptions at the time of the kings of Java, among others, at the time of King Balitung. It is not clear whether the puppet show as we see today. In the reign of King Balitung, has no indication of puppet show. It is also found in a professor's work Arjunawiwaha kakawin Kanwa, in the era of King Airlangga in the 11th century. Therefore puppet show is considered old enough art tradition. While the form of puppet on the show at that time were not yet clearly illustrated how the shape. Traditional theatrical performances are typically used to support both means of religious ceremonies or customs, but the leather puppet show can instantly become an arena for the ceremony. When we watch a puppet, we can immediately guess the puppet show for what purposes. This can be viewed directly on a story that is played, whether for purposes of harvesting or for ngruwat welcome and the show itself is a ceremony.

2010-12-31T08:23:00.000-08:00

Wayang is a form of manifestation of the shadow play that was exhibited by humans.
So wayang art is a reflection of the shadow puppets. The difference is, these people puppets can move and the dialogue itself.
Function and performances Puppet People, as well as ordinary spectacle is sometimes also used to fulfill the vow.
As in wayang kulit, the usual story sung in Wayang Babad Purwa also sourced from the Mahabharata and Ramayana. Art Puppet People who live today basically consist of two streams namely Surakarta style and Yogyakarta style.
The differences that exist between the two streams are mainly in intonation dialogue, tan, and costumes.

In Yogyakarta Wayang style distilisasinya dialogue in such a way and has a monotonous pattern.
Almost all groups were found using the Puppet People Surakarta style dialogue.
If ever there was one difference, the difference was only found in dance or sometimes in costume.
To organize the puppet show is complete, usually needed support as many as 35 people, consisting of:
(1) 20 people as a player (made up of men and women);
(2) 12 people as concurrent wiraswara gamelan;
(3) 2 as waranggana;
(4) a person as a puppeteer.
In the Wayang performance, the puppeteer who is also a function of directors is not an area like the wayang kulit.
Puppeteer displacement of people acting as a regulator of scenes, marked by seclusion or monologue voice.
In the dialogue spoken by the players, very little interference mastermind. Dalang only provide clues outline only. Furthermore, the player himself who had to improvise with the dialogue in accordance with the flow of stories that have been granted by the puppeteer.
Patterns costume and make-up Puppet People adapted to the shape (pattern), wayang kulit, so that the pattern we never find in everyday life. Performing Puppet People use the concept of stage performances that are realistic.
Every movement of the players performed with dance, both when it entered the stage, exiting the stage, the war or the other.
Gamelan is also used as the wayang kulit is pelog and slendro and if they do not complete the slendro usually used alone.
Old man puppet show is usually around 7 or 8 hours for one play, usually performed at night.
The show at noon is rarely done.

At that time, while the followers of Islam there who think that art of gamelan and wayang is haram because it smells Hindu. The emergence of differences between the attitudes and forbid it has enjoyed a very important influence on the development of puppet art itself. To eliminate the impression that all smells and feel of worship to the Hindu statues, cause the new idea to create a new puppet in the shape of the picture by eliminating human beings. Thanks to the tenacity and skill of the followers of Islam who enjoyed puppets arts, especially the mayor, has created a new form of Wayang Purwa with buffalo leather is slightly thinned with a face drawn on her side, the size of hands-on for longer than the size of human hands, so until the foot .

And also created a special tool to hit the box called mobile. Nevertheless the show still plays to use material from the Ramayana and Mahabharata fibers, but here and there already incorporated elements of propaganda, although still in the form of multi pasemon or in the form of symbols. The puppets Click Here that is the source, removed from the palace and still show dipagelarkan outside the palace.

In the era of Sultan Shah Alam III or Emperor Akbar Trenggana, the embodiment of the more lively shadow puppets. Standard forms of puppets begin created. For example the form of currency, introduced two kinds of eye liyepan or picture-like grains of rice or a similar person who is sleepy. And the eyes are the eyes of puppets telengan circular. Appearance more lively puppets anymore because diprada with golden paint.

At the same time His Majesty the Queen single from Giri, is pleased to create another type of wayang puppets Gedog. Basic forms are obtained from the wayang puppet Gedog Purwa. The difference can be seen that for a male figure wearing signature. Plays the principal is the four countries are brothers, namely Jenggala, Mamenang / Kediri, Ngurawan and Singasari. In the opinion of Dr. GAJ Hazeu, mentioned that the word Gedog means horse. Thus the sense of a wayang puppet show featuring Gedog-tale story is more heroism than Kudawanengpatiatau known as Panji Kudhawanengpati. In the leather puppet show accompanied by gamelan pelog Gedog. Wali Sunan Kudus in Java, one set of wayang Gedog dipagelarkan only in the palace. Because puppets Gedog dipagelarkan only in the palace, then make a puppet that Sunan Bonang prepared as the spectacle of the people, namely creating a puppet Damarwulan. Used as the main hero is a story that revolves around the events Damarwulan upheaval of the Majapahit kingdom during the reign of Queen Wungu Kencana Ayu, rebellion Blambangan Regents named Minak Jinggo.

To complement the existing types of puppets, creating puppet Sunan Kudus wooden Marionette. Pakemnya taken from the puppet play and accompanied by a gamelan Purwa Slendro, but it only consists of gongs, kenong, percussion, drums, intelligence and fiddle. Sunan Kalijaga does not lag too, to brighten the development of puppetry arts in those days by creating a mask made of wood. Goods taken from the grip ceriteranya Gedog puppet who finally called the mask of Panji. Forms the eye of the mask was made similar to the puppet Purwa. At the time of the Mataram kingdom ruled by Panembahan Senapati or Sutawijaya, held Purwa repairs and wayang puppet form Gedog. Finely carved leather puppets and puppet Gedog equipped with a dagger.

Besides, both puppet and puppet Purwa Gedog be separated shoulder and hand and given a stalk. In the reign of Sultan Agung Anyakrawati, puppets Click Here which was originally used for the medium was replaced with a puppet Ruwatan ceremony Purwa and it applies to the present. At that time also created some giant figures who previously did not exist, among other Cakil Buto. Giant-like face, usually appear in scenes of War or War of Flower Cinnamon.

Blind Cakil embodiment is sengkalan which reads: Hand Attorney Satataning creature (1552 J / 1670 AD). In Purwa puppet character is a symbol Cakil Blind anger. Forms completion by Sultan Agung Purwa puppet ends with the making of the giant figures who called Blind hair Geni, which is saying Urubing Puppet sengkalan Gumulung Single: (1553 J / 1671 AD). Around the 17th century, Raden shriek from Surabaya create Klitik puppets, shadow puppets are made from compressed wood, like a puppet Purwa.
