Abstract
Wayang kulit or shadow puppet theater performance has
 been greatly changing. Changes occur in many aspects such as in
 terms of the duration or length of the peliormance, its structure, the
 number of dalang who performs it,as well as the number of female
 singers (sindhen or waranggana) who accompany the dalang.
 Consequently, now wayang kulit performance is seen more as
 tontonan (entertainment) than as tuntunan (moral teachings). One
 of the main factors of this big change is the intrusion of western
 culture into Indonesia in general and Java in particular. This results
 in the reluctance of the young, especially, in watching this form of
 traditional art. Therefore, the changers) in the performance of
 wayang kulit or shadow theater is one of the efforts to make thisform
 of traditional art survive.
