Javanese Wayang Kulit: Déwa Ruci (Bima’s Spiritual Enlightenment)

“The Tale of Dewa Ruci” is a Javanese story based on the epic Mahabharata. It tells the story of Bima — one of the Pandawa brothers — in his quest for sacred knowledge. This mystical journey brings him to the South Sea, an isolated place with terrifying waves. Deep in the ocean, Bima meets Dewa Ruci, the thumb-sized Lord who turns out to be an incarnation of his own spirit. The encounter between the two will be brought alive on the Javanese Wayang Kulit (puppet theater) stage by the talented dhalang (puppet master) Ki Midiyanto, accompanied by traditional music by Gamelan Kusuma Laras.
