Dalang Cilik - The Little Puppet Masters (part 1)

We started this story of the Little Puppet Masters with the story of Danan. He is the ultimate city boy. He was born and raised in Jakarta. However, he never liked playing computer games or other game consoles. He would rather play Wayang - the Javanese traditional puppet.

In the upcoming Wayang Festival, Danan will come face to face with other young puppeteers. We intentionally covered this story with the festival as the background because we want the main characters to be on a forward momentum due to forces outside of their control. The festival provides a forward momentum as well as a climax to the story. So it would be a perfect setup for this story.
