The Spurlock Museum is delighted to announce a performance by I Nyoman Sumandhi, a dalang (master puppeteer) of Bali, Indonesia. Mr. Sumandhi performs wayang kulit (why-yahng koo-lit), a form of theater in which flat, intricately-carved leather puppets jump to life as shadows on a large cloth screen. Mr. Sumandhi will be accompanied by his sons, musicians I Wayan Sutartha and I Made Roberto.

This shadow puppet performance is presented in conjunction with the exhibit "Visions of the Unseen: Picturing Balinese Ceremony and Myth." The exhibit is co-sponsored by the Atius-Sachem leadership honoraries. It is also supported by the Spurlock Museum Guild and the Illinois Arts Council, a state agency. Contact the Museum's information desk at 217/333-2360 after September 1st to reserve your tickets.
