this is my life

this life
as silent as the night that I
silence is au shelter
dream of a hopeful one - only
and love is the endless story

This is my life
my place, my night and my dreams
did not like the place, night and dream of you
because you and I are not the same
and will never be the same

 PUPPET one of the top arts and culture of Indonesia's most prominent among many other cultural works. Culture puppets include acting, sound art, music, speech arts, literary arts, painting, sculpture, and art is also symbolic. Puppet culture, evolving over time, is also a lighting media, propaganda, education, entertainment, philosophical understanding, as well as entertainment.According to research by historians of culture, culture is a culture of wayang native to Indonesia, particularly in Java. The existence of wayang already centuries before Hinduism into Java. Although a popular puppet story in today's society is an adaptation of the works of Indian literature, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. The two main story in the puppet undergone many changes and additions to match the original philosophy of Indonesia.Adjustment philosophical concept is also related to the philosophical position of the Javanese to the gods in the puppet. The gods in the puppet is no longer a free something wrong, but like the other God's creatures, sometimes acting wrong, and could be a mistake. The presence of puppet characters panakawan dalam_ deliberately created the humanists In ¬ Indonesians (Javanese cultural exact) to mem ¬ reinforce the concept of philosophy that in this world there is no creature that is really good, and really nasty. Every creature is always bearing elements of good and evil.In his dissertation entitled Bijdrage tot de Kennis van het Javaansche Tooneel (1897), Dutch cultural historian Dr. GA.J. Hazeau expressed confidence that the puppet is a native Java performance. Understanding puppet in the dissertation Dr. Hazeau it is walulang inukir (carved leather) and seen its shadow on the screen. Thus, the question of course is the puppet Puppet as we know it today.OriginRegarding the origin of this puppet, in the world there are two opinions. First, the idea that puppets originated and was first born on the island of Java, precisely in East Java. This opinion besides embraced and advanced by researchers and experts in Indonesia, also the research scholars of the West. Among Western scholars who belong to this group, is Hazeau, Brandes, Kats, Rentse, and Kruyt.The reason they are strong enough. Among other things, that the art of puppet is very closely related to sociocultural and religious state of Indonesia, especially Java. Panakawan, the most significant figures in the puppet, namely Semar, Gareng, Petruk, Bagong, only in Indonesian puppet, and not in other countries. In addition, names and technical terms puppet, all derived from the Javanese (Kuna), and no other language.In the meantime, a second opinion suspected puppets from India, brought together by the Hindu religion to Indonesia. They include Pischel, Hidding, Krom, Poensen, Goslings, and Rassers. Most of the latter group is the British scholar, the European country that once colonized India.However, since the 1950's, books pe ¬ puppet puppet seemed to have agreed that it is derived from Java, and not at all imported from other countries.Culture puppet estimated to have born in Indo ¬ nesia at least during the reign of King Airlangga, king Kahuripan (976 -1012), ie when the kingdom in East Java was his ¬ prosperous prosperous. Literary works which are the puppet story was written by the poet Indonesia since centuries X. Among other things, the text of the Book of the Ramayana literature Kakawin Old Javanese language written in the reign of Dyah Balitung (989-910), which is a spin-off of the book of Ramayana written by poet In ¬ him, Valmiki. Furthermore, the Javanese poet no longer just translating the Ramayana and Mahabharata into Old Javanese language, but compose and retelling Javanese philosophy by incorporating into it. For example, the work of the professor Kanwa Arjunawiwaha Kakawin, which is a composition that berinduk the Book of Mahabharata. Another spin-off of the more obvious the difference between the original version of the story derigan In ¬ He was Baratayuda Kakawin work professor and professor Panuluh Sedah. Great work was done during the reign of King Jayabaya, king of Kediri (1130-1160).Puppet as a performance and spectacle had been started there since the reign of king Airlangga. Some of the inscriptions that were made at that time, among others already mentioned the words "mawa ¬ a 'and` aringgit' which means that the per ¬ puppet show.Regarding the birth culture of puppets, Ir. Sri Mulyono in his symbolism and mysticism in the Puppet (1979), estimate the puppet has existed since Neolithic times, which is approximately 1,500 years before Christ. His opinion was based on the writings Robert von Heine-Geldern Ph.. D, Prehis ¬ toric Research in the Netherland Indies (1945) and Prof. writing. K.A.H. Hidding in the Encyclopedia of Indo ¬ 987 pages worth.The word `puppet 'probably derived from the word` wewa ¬ shadow', which means shadow. This assumption is consistent with the fact the Wayang performance that uses color, a piece of cloth as a barrier between the puppeteer who plays the puppet, and the audience was behind the curtain. The audience just watched the puppet movements through the shadows falling on the screen. At that time only the wayang accompanied by a simple set of gamelan consist of saron, he argued (a type of flute), and kemanak. Other types of gamelan and singer at that time believed no.For more menjawakan puppet culture, since the early days of the Majapahit Kingdom introduced another puppet story was not berinduk the Book of the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Since then the story ¬ Panji stories; namely the story of the ancestral kings of Majapahit, was introduced as one form another puppet. Panji story was later used more for show Wayang Beber. Tradition menjawakan puppet story also forwarded by some Islamic scholars, among them by the Wali Sanga. They began mewayangkan story of the king of Majapahit, among Damarwulan story.Introduction of Islam to Indonesia since the 15th century was also a big influence on the culture of puppets, especially the religious concept of philosophy puppet. At the beginning of the 15th century, the time of the kingdom of Demak, began to use specially shaped oil lamps called blencong the Puppet performances.Since time Kartasura, composing wayang berinduk the Ramayana and Mahabharata increasingly distant from the original. Since the time that the fans get to know the genealogy of wayang puppet characters, including gods figure, which originated from the Prophet Adam. Sisilah it continues to come to the kings of Java. And further, from the well known puppet stories grip. appropriate standards of the story, and the story of the puppet carangan beyond the standard line. Other than that there's more drama called splinter, which was too far out of the story grip.
