Description
Summary: | "Mayadanawa is a powerful being who insists that everyone only worship him. He creates havoc among the people, who finally appeal to Indra to chase him away. Each place [Mayadanawa] tries to hide from Indra becomes a famous spring or river or rock or village" -- Container.
"Mayadanawa was the first ShadowLight giant screen shadow production to be created in Bali. The idea of using shadow masks and multiple light sources was new to the island, and a radical departure from traditional Wayang Kulit. Thirty musicians, and twenty dancers and shadowcasters from the village of Pengosekan, Ubud, brought the show to life."--Container.
