Modern twist takes traditional wayang kulit to global stage


Visitors viewing some of the wayang kulit pieces crafted by the team at Fusion Wayang Kulit gallery in GMBB in Kuala Lumpur.

CONCERNS over the declining popularity of wayang kulit, Malaysia’s traditional shadow puppetry, have spurred three artists to innovate, ensuring the heritage art remains relevant, especially among the young.

Founded in 2012 by Muhammad Dain Othman, Tintoy Chuo and Teh Take Huat, Fusion Wayang Kulit merges traditional Kelantanese wayang kulit with modern elements, introducing new narratives and iconic pop culture characters to captivate contemporary audiences.
