Mesmerising: Pak Cu taking his audience on a journey of rich storytelling.

One of my favourite Muzium Negara exhibits as a child was the flat-as-pancakes wayang kulit puppets depicting dramatic characters.

Watching the puppeteer bring each of them to life, flying across a silk screen that separated these elaborate, lace-like puppets from us on the other side of the stage, fascinated me to no end.
