It's not often you get to see Javanese shadow puppetry and a full Gamelan outside of Indonesia, let alone in your random Californian city! Thanks to @seismogenic.bsky.social for letting us know it was happening (and well played)!

Shadow puppets on screen (right – Bimo encountering an ogre, I think) and Julian Lozos (lower left) playing as part of the Gamelan ensemble

The puppeteer, Woro Mustiko Siwi (center), did all the character voices (in Javanese and English) and much of the singing and percussion as well as the puppetry. She was a tour de force!

This looks so cool. I've also not listened to gamelan on a long time.
