Surwedi

Performances alone will not guarantee the preservation of wayang – the Javanese shadow puppetry. Without adequate references, the present and future generations will have difficulty exploring its noble cultural values. That is what motivates Surwedi (56) to persistently write wayang purwa plays in East Java to create a legacy.

The door to the house on the bank of the Mangetan canal in Bakungpringgondani village, Sidoarjo, East Java, was wide open on Sunday (11/22/2020). The host welcomed his guests. Hospitality was not only shown through attitude and manner but also through various culinary treats.
