Balinese Shadow Puppet Show: Kirstin Pauka
There are times when theater can take us far, far away into a world of magic and few styles of theater are more magical, or can take us further away, than Balinese shadow theater, with its flickering lights, malleable images, and hallucinatory story lines. UH Theater director Kirstin Pauka, Director for the Center of Southeast Asian Studies, is bringing a show called Battle of the Monkey Kings to the Kennedy Theater stage. It’s a story that promises a battle royal of gods, ogres, and monkeys, and if that doesn’t transport us far from our everyday lives, nothing can. Battle of the Monkey Kings, a Balinese Puppet Theater show is on the Main Stage of Kennedy Theater at UH-Manoa. It runs the weekends of January 22 and 29th.
