Description Stunning imagery and live music turn the traditional art form of wayang kulit on its head as Indonesian-Australian artist Jumaadi and his collaborators reinvigorate the ancient storytelling technique of shadow play. Perahu-Perahu, which means 'boats' in Indonesian, explores the precarious relationship between humans and the sea. Immersing audiences in an exquisite world of images crafted from hundreds of intricate cut-outs and compositions blending tradition and contemporary music, this satirical and playful new performance work is a captivating fusion of old and new.
