Ramayana Shadow Puppets
Loading...
Uploaded by blackcat2086 on Dec 14, 2009
The ridiculously abridged version of the Ramayana, as performed with Indonesian shadow puppets.
This is a very raw version of the short play. We've never used shadow puppets such as these before, and we basically winged the entire performance. We would rehearse, film, rehearse, film, and so on. The entire thing took us between two to four hours to perform.
Apologies for the iffy editing.

@blackcat2086 Haha, I couldn't tell that it's beatles' music. The percussion really sounds indian drum.

Delightful. I'm struggling with: "Ramopakhyana- the Story of Rama in the Mahabharata" by: Peter Scharf. It is a struggle! intermediate Sanskrit or better is recommended and encouraged before launching off into this. Bibliography has a couple of references to Shadow Puppets- here I am. Effective and leaves something for Poetic Imagination as opposed to animation. I'm surrounded by Puppets, the Whole Wax Museum anyway- is it live, or is it Memorex? For Kids? I like this...produce my own show.

Guys, u did a great job...
but just as input, the music accompaniment is not Indonesian music.
it sounds like indian music instead. probably, it will perform lots better with the right music. good job anyway!!

@Manuel17jccj You're correct. The puppets were Indonesian, as that's where my instructor got them while on vacation. We were studying the Ramayana in a section on India though, hence the Indian-esque music. Although to be honest, the music is actually the instrumental score of "Within You, Without You" by the Beatles, so it's not even truly Indian! I couldn't find authentic music on such short notice, so I had to use what I already had. =\
