I never get unexcited when someone inform me about any gig of "Wayang"/Puppet show or exhibition. Yes, I'm a proud fan of wayang. As we know, this heritage was adapted from the magnificent epic stories from India, Mahabharata and Ramayana. And that is what i love the most about wayang, the stories--even though i have never succeed to remember all of the sub-stories and characters, because it's just too complicated and deep.
It is not such a coincidence that made me fall in love with wayang. I've been familiar with this thing since i was a little. My father is a really really big fan of wayang and he remember well almost the main and support characters in the stories. So, from my father i've been introduced to wayang and until now, i'm still learning from him about the stories and the philosophy contained in. Since I'm the only daughter who love wayang too, we sometimes hang out on the weekend just to watch the wayang shows. How lovely, isn't it?
On the last sunday, me and my father went to grand closing of "Festival Wayang Indonesia 2013" held by Total E&P Indeonesie and Pepadi. Too bad that we're not able to go there since the first day of festival. Much too bad when we had the opportunity to go there, we couldn't stay at the gig until the show finished because we gotta go work at the tomorrow morning. We have to come to this event next year, then. From the head of committee, i also heard that the same kind of festival (international level) will be held on October at Monas! Thank God for making it reachable enough :)
Before go to sleep, i would like to say the sincerest apologies to all of you. Let's start this sacred month, Ramadhan, with all fine and clean heart. May Allah shower us with His blessing and grace.
Keep respect for our heritage & Happy fasting!
Cheers,
Sawitri Wening
