Description Inspired by the Sanskrit epic Ramayana, artists from Australia and Indonesia join forces in this gorgeously rendered shadow puppet drama about environmental destruction, political unrest, and corporate greed. 150 expertly handled puppets flit before a gigantic white screen, embellished by vivd computer graphics and an exhilirating live score - a cross-cultural pollination of Balinese gamelan orchestra with contemporary Western jazz.
