Yogyakarta is home to the traditional puppetry style of Indonesia, known as wayang kulit, loosely translated as "shadow puppetry" in English. This timeless display of puppet drama makes use of shadows thrown by puppets attached to rods, against a white, clear screen lit from behind. Sagio Griya Ukir Kulit is a popular choice of theatre that solely specialises in this unique puppet show, while Rajaklana Resort and Spa is a recommended choice of hotels in Yogyakarta located a short walk away from the puppet theatre, if you don't want to miss any of the puppet show and traditional storytelling action.
