ABOUT
The word "wayang" originated from the word "bayang" which means shadow or projection. Initially used for "Wayang Kulit", the word then progresses to mean a stage or a cinematic projected performance.
Lakon means, to act. The word Lakon / Lakun / Lakhon is still in use throughout the Southeast Asian nations to describe acting or stage performances.

OUR FIRST PRODUCTION
Wan Belantara
10th and 11th January 2025
Goodman Arts Centre
SYNOPSIS:
WAN BELANTARA is inspired by Farid ud-Din Attar's poem “Conference of the Birds” and the winning poem “Raja Adil Raja Disembah” in 2012's inter-school Deklamasi Sajak Kreatif competition.
The play will feature a group of ants plotting and embarking on a journey to send tributes to a newly elected king of the jungle. This is a special moment for the animals in the jungle as previously the lion and its descendants has always been the king. But this time, a different animal has been elected as the king and it is a time for celebration.
Along the journey, the ants recollect the deeds of the previous kings and how the current king is the best in, and for, the jungle.

ABOUT WAN BELANTARA
