Dalang Cilik - The Little Puppet Masters (part 2)

On the second segment, we introduce another hero in our story. His name is Bayu. He came all the way from North Sumatera. He is the son of a Dalang or puppet master. his family was originally from Java but they migrated to North Sumatera even before he was born. We showcased his performance and showed how far did he amaze the jurors with the help of both his parents. His father played Gamelan dan his mother sang during his perfomance.

We picked Bayu dan Danan as our main characters due to their opposing conditions. Danan has all the resources he needed to become a puppeteer and Bayu is the total opposite. Bayu's ability comes from a much higher purpose than Danan, which is survival. We put these two in contrast to each other so we would be able to put the issue of cultural conservation on the table - especially government's efforts and other organisations involved.
