This lecture-demonstration will explore the drama and visual culture of wayang golek menak, a form of rod puppetry practiced in Java, Indonesia that enacts tales about Amir Hamzah, the uncle of the Prophet Muhammad. The lecture-demonstration, led by two Fellows at the Yale ISM in the fall of 2018, Dr. Dewanto Sukistono and Professor Matthew Cohen, will use puppets in the Dr. Walter Angst and Sir Henry Angest Collection of Indonesian Puppets, the world’s largest collection of Indonesian puppets (wayang) acquired by the Yale University Art Gallery in 2017.
